Factors involved in control of tissue-specific expression of albumin gene. 1987

S Cereghini, and M Raymondjean, and A G Carranca, and P Herbomel, and M Yaniv

Elements controlling tissue-specific expression of the rat albumin gene reside within roughly 150 bp upstream of the transcriptional initiation site. We show here by DNAase I footprinting assays that at least four distinct factors present in extracts derived from cells expressing albumin interact with these sequences. One of these factors is closely related or identical to nuclear factor 1 (NF1). Extracts from nonhepatic tissues or from dedifferentiated hepatoma cells that do not transcribe the albumin gene display a different pattern of DNA-protein interactions. Mixing experiments show that the variant pattern of dedifferentiated cells is dominant over that of differentiated ones, suggesting that nonexpressing cells contain dominant negatively acting factors.

D002454 Cell Differentiation Progressive restriction of the developmental potential and increasing specialization of function that leads to the formation of specialized cells, tissues, and organs. Differentiation, Cell,Cell Differentiations,Differentiations, Cell
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004268 DNA-Binding Proteins Proteins which bind to DNA. The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases.
