SII-K1 is a member of the transcription elongation factor S-II family. In the mouse, SII-K1 is expressed exclusively in the liver, kidney, heart, and skeletal muscle. Here, we report that deletion of the SII-K1 gene in mice resulted in the downregulation of the synaptotagmin-like 1 (Sytl 1) gene in liver and of the coiled-coil domain-containing 21 (Ccdc21) gene in liver and kidney. Moreover, the induction of the metallothionein I (Mt I) gene in SII-K1-deficient mice liver was impaired in diethyl maleate-induced oxidative stress conditions. Our results suggest that SII-K1 regulates these genes in vivo.
SII-K1是转录延伸因子S-II家族的成员。在小鼠中,SII-K1仅在肝脏、肾脏、心脏和骨骼肌中表达。在此,我们报告小鼠中SII-K1基因的缺失导致肝脏中突触结合蛋白样1(Sytl 1)基因以及肝脏和肾脏中含卷曲螺旋结构域21(Ccdc21)基因的表达下调。此外,在马来酸二乙酯诱导的氧化应激条件下,SII-K1基因缺陷小鼠肝脏中金属硫蛋白I(Mt I)基因的诱导受到损害。我们的结果表明,SII-K1在体内调节这些基因。
