摘要: The enhancer of the rat tyrosine hydroxylase gene (TH) in PC8b cells is composed AP1 motif (TCATTCA, -205 to -199) and an overlapping 20-base pair dyad symmetry element (TCAGAGGCAGGTGCCTGTGA, -201 -182) whose core E-box. We have isolated two partial cDNA clones that encode factors which bind TH-dyad. One rITF2 with a basic helix-loop-helix other CDP2 homeodomain. homolog human ITF2 (or E2-2), member new family homeoproteins defined by histidine as 9th residue recognition helix unique 64 amino acid repeats related those Drosophila cut gene. binding affinity alone relatively weak, but it enhances In transfected F9 cells, activation TH-driven reporter requires both CDP2, suggesting proteins may functionally interact. However, are not restricted TH-expressing tissues; hence they be involved tissue-specific expression TH. addition, phosphorylated vitro vivo.
