The adult liver-specific IGF-II promoter P1 is activated by CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Proteins alpha and beta. Here we present evidence that promoter P1, in addition to positively regulating elements, contains two elements of 67 nucleotides that form an inverted repeat (IR) and suppress P1 activity. The two IR elements are specifically bound by a protein (inverted repeat binding factor, IRBF). The amounts of IRBF in various cell lines correlate with the levels of suppression of P1 activity, suggesting that this factor is responsible for the suppression of P1 mediated by the IR elements.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007335 Insulin-Like Growth Factor II A well-characterized neutral peptide believed to be secreted by the LIVER and to circulate in the BLOOD. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like and mitogenic activities. The growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on SOMATOTROPIN. It is believed to be a major fetal growth factor in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR I, which is a major growth factor in adults.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).
