Androgen-Regulated Gene Expression

Annual Review of Physiology, 1989
While a great deal of knowledge on the mechanisms of steroid hormone regulated gene expression now exists, specific information relating to androgens is lacking. A number of experimental systems have been developed and show promise as models for molecular studies of androgen regulation.

Phytochrome regulated gene expression

Seminars in Cell Biology, 1994
Light is used by plants as a signal for many physiological and developmental processes. Phytochrome is the most extensively studied family of photoreceptors that plants use to perceive the presence and quality of light in their environment. While the initial action of the phytochrome molecule is not yet known, one important kind of response, changes in

Insulin-regulated gene expression

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2001
Insulin regulates the expression of more than 150 genes, indicating that this is a major action of this hormone. At least eight distinct consensus insulin response sequence (IRSs) have been defined through which insulin can regulate gene transcription. These include the serum response element, the activator protein 1 (‘AP-1’) motif, the Ets motif, the ...

Dimerizer-regulated gene expression

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2002
Control of gene expression using small molecules is a powerful research tool and has clinical utility in the context of regulated gene therapy. Use of chemical inducers of dimerization, or dimerizers, for this purpose has several advantages, including tight regulation, modularity to facilitate iterative improvements, and assembly from human proteins to

Regulated Gene Expression in Gene Therapy

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2001
Abstract: The original model of gene therapy, that of efficient delivery, durable transfer, and stable expression of transgenes to correct a gene defect underlying an inherited disease, is limited in light of improved understanding of the processes involved.

Tonicity‐Regulated Gene Expression

2007
Hypertonicity activates several different transcription factors, including TonEBP/OREBP, that in turn increase transcription of numerous genes. Hypertonicity elevates TonEBP/OREBP transcriptional activity by moving it into the nucleus, where it binds to its cognate DNA element (ORE), and by increasing its transactivational activity.

Glucose regulation of gene expression

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 1998
Regulation of gene expression by nutrients in mammals is an important mechanism allowing them to adapt to the nutritional environment. In-vivo and in-vitro experiments have demonstrated that the transcription of genes coding for lipogenic and glycolytic enzymes in liver and/or adipose tissue is upregulated by glucose.
