摘要: Transcription of vitellogenin (vtg) genes are initiated when estradiol-17β (E2)-estrogen receptor (ER) complexes bind estrogen response elements (ERE) located in the gene promoter region. Transcriptional regulation dual vtg subtypes (major salmonid A-type vtg: vtgAs; minor C-type vtgC) by E2 was investigated under co-expression a potential major transcriptional factor, erα1, cutthroat trout. Two forms trout vtgAs promoters (1 and 2) one vtgC were sequenced. These structurally differ based on number EREs present. The 1 exhibited highest maximal activity vitro reporter assays. concentration that induces 50% (half-maximal effective concentrations, EC50) similar among all also to EC50 administered induce transcription vivo. This study revealed difference properties multiple for first time species, providing basis understand mechanisms underlying vitellogenesis via expression.
