Interaction between non-coding RNAs, mRNAs and G-quadruplexes
G-quadruplexes are secondary helical configurations established between guanine-rich nucleic acids. The structure is seen in the promoter regions of numerous genes under certain situations.

Construction and characterization of a synthetic Baculovirus-inducible 39K promoter
Background Silkworm genetic engineering is widely used in gene function, silk engineering and disease-resistant engineering in most of Asia. Some of the earliest promoter elements are used to control the development of silkworm transgenic expression and ...

Genetic Alteration of p16INKA4A Promoter Region in Endometrial Carcinoma
Objective : This study was performed to evaluate the status of p16 tumor suppressor gene in 25 endometrial carcinomas (ECs) and to correlate the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at p16 locus, the presence of inactivating mutations, the methylation status of the promotor, and the expression of p16 protein with clinicopathological parameters.

Functional Characterization of Genetic Polymorphisms Identified in the Promoter Region of the Bovine PEPS Gene [PDF]
Peptidase S (PEPS) is a metallopeptidase that cleaves N -terminal residues from proteins and peptides. PEPS is used as a cell maintenance enzyme with critical roles in peptide turnover. The promoter region located upstream of the initiation site plays an important role in regulating gene ...

Candidate genes colocalized to linkage regions in inflammatory bowel disease [PDF]
Background and Aims: The genes encoding for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) are colocalized to inflammatory bowel disease-associated linkage regions on chromosomes 6, 7 and

Mechanisms underlying the tissue-specific and regulated activity of the Gnrhr promoter in mammals.
The GnRH receptor (GnRHR) plays a central role in the development and maintenance of reproductive function in mammals. Following stimulation by GnRH originating from the hypothalamus, GnRHR triggers multiple signalling events that ultimately stimulate ...

Genetic Dissection of the Light-InduciblecarQRSPromoter Region ofMyxococcus xanthus [PDF]
ABSTRACTInMyxococcus xanthusphotoprotective carotenoids are produced in response to illumination due to regulated expression of carotenoid biosynthesis genes at two loci. Induction of the carotenogenesis regulon is dependent on expression of thecarQRSoperon.
