摘要: The two transcription activation functions (TAFs) of the human progesterone receptor (hPR) have been characterized. TAF-1, located in N-terminal region A/B, has narrowed down to a 91-amino acid sequence, which is sufficient for chimeras with GAL4 DNA binding domain. Both hPR TAF-1 and TAF-2 activate minimal promoter yeast. No autonomous TAF could be found 164 amino acids (designated AB3) are responsible differential promoters by isoforms A B. Reduction target gene complexity did not alter this activation, indicating that AB3 does require additional promoter-bound factors exert its effect. Instead, cell specificity ability squelch hPR-induced suggest isoform activity due effect limiting factor binds AB3.
