We previously reported that the TATA-less rat xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase (XDH/XO) promoter is organized with multiple initiator elements (Inr 1, 2, 3 and 4). Additionally, we identified six factor binding footprints in the upstream region of this promoter (FP 1-FP 6), two of which (FP 2 and FP 4) we showed to be C/EBP binding sites. In this report we continue our characterization of the XDH/XO promoter, detailing other cis elements which comprise the Inr and upstream binding factors. Interestingly, multiple binding domains for known initiator binding proteins, YY-1 and USF-related factor/TFII-I, have been identified which potentially play an important role in transcription initiation.
我们之前报道过,无TATA盒的大鼠黄嘌呤脱氢酶/氧化酶(XDH/XO)启动子由多个起始子元件(Inr 1、2、3和4)组成。此外,我们在该启动子的上游区域鉴定出六个因子结合足迹(FP 1-FP 6),其中两个(FP 2和FP 4)被证明是C/EBP结合位点。在本报告中,我们继续对XDH/XO启动子进行表征,详细阐述构成起始子和上游结合因子的其他顺式元件。有趣的是,已鉴定出已知起始子结合蛋白YY-1和USF相关因子/TFII-I的多个结合结构域,它们可能在转录起始中发挥重要作用。
