97128276-3The germline promoters ( Ko ) located upstream of the J region gene segments of the kappa locus also contain an octamer motif (containing a single base pair mutation and referred to as the variant octamer) which has been shown previously to bind Oct- 1 and Oct-2 transcription factors in vitro.
97048062-10The last 13 amino acids containing a PXQXT/S sequence are highly conserved in human and simian EBV LMP1 but do not bind TRAF3 , suggesting a distinct role for this conserved region of LMP1 . The conserved TRAF3 binding sites in LMP1 and the CD30 Hodgkin's disease marker provides further evidence that a TRAF3 -mediated signal transduction pathway may be important in malignant transformation .
92255823-4Here, Stuart Schreiber and Gerald Crabtree review recent findings that indicate CsA and FK506 operate as prodrugs : they bind endogenous intracellular receptors , the immunophilins , and the resulting complex targets the protein phosphatase , calcineurin , to exert the immunosuppressive effect .
97115792-8The ZAP-70 mutant studied here could be phosphorylated on tyrosine when associated to the TCR zeta chain and was able to bind p56(lck) .

97083501-3Since it is known that PGE2 is able to increase cAMP levels , we investigated whether it can affect gene expression through the activation of the transcription factors which bind enhancer elements in the promoter regions of cAMP -regulated genes.
91224990-9Two domains centered at positions -345 and -540, respectively, bind proteins that are present in megakaryocytic cells and nonrelated cells as well. Finally, two other domains, located at positions -460 and -510, interact with proteins that are only present in megakaryocytic cells . In addition, deletion of the region containing these two domains results in a significant decrease of the promoter activity.
93281652-3To determine whether the defect in the patient's T lymphocytes involved a trans- acting factor common to the affected lymphokine genes , we examined the ability of nuclear factors from the patient's T lymphocytes to bind response elements present in the regulatory region of IL2 .

92052243-3Activation of proenkephalin transcription by JunD is dependent upon a previously characterized cAMP-, phorbol ester- , and Ca(2+)-inducible enhancer , and JunD is shown to bind the enhancer as a homodimer .
91277630-4Although three sites in the TNF-alpha promoter (kappa 1, kappa 2, and kappa 3) specifically bind the transcription factor NF-kappa B in lymphoid nuclear extracts , TNF-alpha mRNA induction by PMA does not correlate with NF-kappa B binding activities displayed by different T and B cell lines .
97048062-7Nevertheless, the simian EBV LMP1 s retain most functions in common with EBV LMP1 , including the ability to induce NF- (kappa)B activity in human cells , to bind the tumor necrosis factor- associated factor 3 ( TRAF3 ) in vitro, and to induce expression of tumor necrosis factor-responsive genes , such as ICAM1 , in human B lymphocytes .
92052243-5As a homodimer JunB is unable to bind the enhancer; however in the presence of c-Fos , high-affinity binding is observed.
97083588-4In exerting their antiproliferative effects, GCS diffuse into target cells where they bind their cytoplasmic receptor , which in turn translocates to the nucleus where it inhibits transcription of cytokine genes through direct binding to the glucocorticoid response elements ( GRE ), which are located in the promoter region of cytokine genes or, alternatively, through antagonism of the action of transcription factors required for optimal transcriptional activation .
92051383-4In extracts of induced, Il-2 secreting El4 cells three individual protein factors bind to TCEd DNA .
93180775-3 NF-kappa B is composed of distinct subunits; five independent genes, NFKB1 ( p105 ), NFKB2 ( p100 ), RelA(p65) , c-rel and relB , that encode related proteins that bind to kappa B DNA elements have been isolated. We have previously found that NFKB2(p49/p52) acts in concert with RelA(p65) to stimulate the HIV enhancer in Jurkat T-leukemia cells . Here we examine the biochemical basis for the transcriptional regulation of HIV by NFKB2 .
92031293-4One is the 21-base- pair (bp) core element that is responsible for trans-activation by the HTLV-I trans-activator p40tax and that has the ability to bind to cyclic-AMP responsive element binding factor (CREB)-like factor (s).

92108417-4A dimerization cofactor of HNF-1 alpha ( DCoH ) was identified that displayed a restricted tissue distribution and did not bind to DNA, but, rather, selectively stabilized HNF-1 alpha dimers. The formation of a stable tetrameric DCoH-HNF-1 alpha complex , which required the dimerization domain of HNF-1 alpha , did not change the DNA binding characteristics of HNF-1 alpha , but enhanced its transcriptional activity .
93324366-2AB - A family of transcriptional activating proteins, the GATA factors , has been shown to bind to a consensus motif through a highly conserved C4 zinc finger DNA binding domain .

92066454-7However, this factor did not bind to a typical AP-1 site . The insertion of multiple copies of the binding site for the former or latter factor into a heterologous promoter reduced the promoter activity to one-tenth or one-third, respectively.

97051821-5Multiple factors including Stat5 , Elf-1 , HMG-I(Y ) and GATA family proteins bind to the IL-2 response element and mutation of any one of these binding sites diminishes the activity of this element.
92112059-8The results also revealed a similar functional cooperation between the transcription factors which bind to the Oct and the adjacent Sp 1-binding site in BJA-B cells , as has been observed in HeLa cells , since a template which contains a weak binding site for OTFs expresses wild-type levels of U2 snRNA in both cell types when the weak octamer-binding site is combined with a Sp 1-binding site .
92051383-7 Purified NF-kB is also able to bind to the TCEd , but TCF-1 binds stronger than NF-kB to TCEd DNA.
96413274-3In both cases, induction of TNF-alpha gene transcription can be blocked by the immunosuppressants cyclosporin A and FK506 , which suggested a role for the NFAT family of proteins in the regulation of the gene in B cells . Furthermore, in T cells , two molecules of NFATp bind to the TNF-alpha promoter element kappa 3 in association with ATF-2 and Jun proteins bound to an immediately adjacent cyclic AMP response element (CRE) site .
96413274-6Instead, ATF-2 and Jun proteins bind to the composite kappa 3/CRE site and NFATp binds to a newly identified second NFAT site centered at -76 nucleotides relative to the TNF-alpha transcription start site .
91187647-5All the isoforms retain the previously characterized POU-domain and are therefore able to bind to the octamer motif .

92135145-3In order to define the roles of these two factors , which bind to the same kappa B enhancers , in transcription activation we have prepared somatic cell hybrids between IARC 301.5 and a murine myeloma .
93105477-4When occupied by their natural ligands, glucocorticosteroids and catecholamines , these receptors have a role in modulating T-cell function during stress. During the inflammatory response increased levels of PGE2 bind to their receptors on T cells and thus alter responsiveness.
96315681-4The core GGAAs of the muA and muB sites are separated by 30 nucleotides , suggesting that ETS proteins bind to these sites from these same side of the DNA helix .
97131823-5By competition analysis with transcription factor consensus sequence oligonucleotides and by immunosupershift , transcription factor SP-1 or a closely related protein was shown to bind to this regulatory element . The closest match to the known SP-1 consensus sequence within the respective region is a TCCCCTCCCCT motif .
94025289-8The two structurally distinct immunophilin-drug complexes bind to, and inhibit, the phosphatase activity of calcineurin .
96323103-8In contrast, neither E(gre) nor EA/S motifs contributed pronouncedly to Akv MLV transcription in NIH 3T3 cells lacking DNA-binding ALF1 or HEB and E2A proteins .
91114695-6 TCF-1 contained a single DNA-binding HMG box most closely related to similar boxes in the putative mammalian sex-determining gene SRY and in the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mc mating type gene.
94280766-6The activity of DNA binding NF-kappa B dimers is tightly controlled by accessory proteins called I kappa B subunits of which there are also five different species currently known in vertebrates .

93309430-5Three E2F DNA-binding activities were identified in resting (G0) T cells with mobilities in gel shift assay s distinct from those of previously defined E2F complexes.
96409274-9Whereas AP-1 , NF- kappa B, Oct , CREB and SP1 displayed normal binding activities in nuclear extracts , the binding of NF-AT to its IL-2 promoter response element was barely detectable both before and after T cell stimulation . Our results strongly suggest that this NF-AT /DNA binding defect is responsible for the multiple cytokine deficiency and the SCID phenotype observed in the two infant brothers .
93287269-5Surprisingly, the NF-kappa B and HLP-1 binding activities were substantially inhibited in acyclovir -treated cells.
93241941-7Our results are consistent with the view that the DNA-binding activity LEF1/BCF1 is a homodimer of E2A proteins ; the selective appearance of this putative cell-specific transcription factor in B lymphoid cells seems to be attributable, at least in part, to the elevated E2A protein concentrations in these cells.
93206138-6Association of the newly synthesized I kappa B alpha with p65 restores intracellular inhibition of NF-kappa B DNA binding activity and prolongs the survival of this labile inhibitor.
96264685-4The present results show that Jurkat T cells acutely exposed to micromolar concentrations of H2O2 exhibit substantial increases in AP-1 binding activity and the expression of c-jun but not c-fos mRNA .
92408021-5We report here that the HIV-1 -encoded Nef protein inhibits the induction of NF-kappa B DNA-binding activity by T- cell mitogens .
97115684-5In addition, electrophoretic mobility shift and supershift assays revealed that important NF-kappaB binding activity composed of at least p50 , p65 , and c-Rel NF-kappaB subunits was present in nuclei of CD40-stimulated B cells .
97026428-6Activation of TGF-beta 2 transcription correlates with the loss of binding activity for an 80 kDA glial labile repressor protein , GLRP , to a responsive region within the TFG-beta 2 promoter .

93242763-5We found that Nef inhibited the recruitment of AP-1 DNA-binding activity in mitogen- stimulated human T-cells .
93180775-9Recombinant I kappa B-alpha( MAD- 3 ) inhibited the DNA binding activity of p65 , p49/p65 , and p50/p65 but stimulated the binding of NFKB2 ( p49 ) or NFKB1(p50).
92408021-6However, Nef does not affect the DNA-binding activity of other transcription factors implicated in HIV-1 regulation, including SP-1 , USF , URS , and NF-AT .
96320604-9 NF-IL6 mRNA levels were not affected by IL-10 or IL-4 , suggesting that IL-4 affects binding activity of preexisting NF-IL6 .
91292530-5In vitro translated MAD-3 protein was found to specifically inhibit the DNA-binding activity of the p50/p65 NF-kappa B complex but not that of the p50/p50 KBF1 factor or of other DNA-binding proteins .
93294310-4Transcriptional activation of the M- CSF gene by IL-2 is preceded by enhanced binding activity of the transcription factor NF-kappa B to its recognition sequence in the 5' regulatory enhancer region of the M-CSF gene .
92001749-7The purified NF-GM2 consists of 50 ( p50 ) and 65 kDa ( p65 ) polypeptides and has a binding activity specific for both the GM-CSF and immunoglobulin kappa (GGAAAGTCCC) enhancers . Electrophoretically purified p50 alone can form a protein-DNA complex , but in the mixture, p50 associates preferentially with p65 to form the NF-GM2 complex .
93224733-8The presence of an AP-1 protein in the NF-AT protein complex may regulate NF-AT -binding activity through protein-protein interaction .
97083501-4Using electrophoretic mobility shift assay, we demonstrated that a short treatment of human T lymphocytes with PGE2 induces specific binding activity to CRE and AP- 2 , but not AP-1 , DNA elements.
97083501-1TI - Prostaglandin E2 induction of binding activity to CRE and AP-2 elements in human T lymphocytes .
97108656-6Several forms of EGR-1 protein are found within the different groups of cell lines, and the binding activity to DNA consensus sequences was investigated.
91117203-5Activation of T lymphocytes induces an NF-kappa B -like binding activity to the B2 site, concomitant with activation of the proenkephalin promoter.
92156797-6 NF-kappa B binding activity was inducible by tumor necrosis factor and phorbol myristate acetate in PLB-985 .
97083501-5Since the okadaic acid , a potent protein phosphatase inhibitor , prolongs the induction of the binding activity, phosphorylation event s are likely to occur.
91361546-3 Tax expressing T cell lines contained a constitutive level of NF-kappa B binding activity, detectable by mobility shift assay and uv cross-linking using a palindromic NF-kappa B probe homologous to the i nterferon beta PRDII site .
91367666-7Interestingly, treatment of purified HIV-TF1 by phosphatase greatly reduced its DNA-binding activity, suggesting that phosphorylation of HIV-TF1 was essential for DNA binding .
93321228-6Analysis of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization suggested that the CD3/TcR-dependent signal transduction was impaired in PMA/Bt2cAMP-treated cells . Remarkably, we observed that these samples displayed a persistent expression of the c-fos protooncogene , associated to an increased AP-1 DNA-binding activity, whereas no variations of CREB or NF-kB were detected.
93292612-4 UT-7 Epo and UT-7 expressed similar levels of GATA-1 mRNA and binding activity.
93241941-6The detection of this protein selectively in extracts of lymphoid cells correlates with the presence of the E box-binding activity LEF1/BCF1 in these cells; this binding activity was previously shown to be efficiently recognized by antiserum directed against E2A gene products. Transfection of cells with full length E2A cDNA leads to appearance of protein co-migrating with the 73 kDa protein on SDS gel electrophoresis and co-migrating with LEF1/BCF1 on mobility shift analysis .
97025427-5Accordingly, increased AP-1 DNA-binding activity and AP-1 - dependent transcriptional activity were detected exclusively in IL-2 - stimulated cells.
91094881-7Furthermore, a mutant E6 motif lost both in vitro binding activity and in vivo enhancer activity .
93157335-7These inhibitory effects of c- Rel correlate with its DNA-binding activity but not with its ability to heterodimerize with p50 , suggesting that c-Rel inhibition involves competition with p50/p65 for occupancy of the kappa B enhancer element. Together, these findings suggest that one function of c-Rel is as a physiologic repressor of the HIV-1 LTR and IL-2R alpha promoters, serving to efficiently counter the strong transcriptional activating effects of p65 .
92291523-9Since HIV- 1 long terminal repeat contains two functional nuclear factor kB (NF- kB) regulatory elements , we studied the ability of PMA to induce NF-kB binding activity by different assays.
93300824-3 Electrophoretic mobility shift assays ( EMSA ) showed that specific NFAT binding activity could also be induced in human B cells .
96357043-3A direct temporal correlation exists between HIV infection and the appearance of NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity in myelomonoblastic PLB-985 cells .
96357043-4To examine the molecular basis of constitutive NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity in HIV1 -infected cells , we analyzed the phosphorylation and turnover of IkappaBalpha protein, the activity of the double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase ( PKR ) and the intracellular levels of NF-kappaB subunits in the PLB-985 and U937 myeloid cell models .
94026053-6We demonstrated, by applying the electrophoretic mobility shift assay , slightly impaired AP-1 DNA binding activity in NCL lymphocytes and strong in DS ones .

92371447-9 DNA band-shift analysis reveals NF-kappa B binding activity in glial cells that differs from that present in T lymphoid cells .
93153017-8However, no loss of DNA binding activity is observed, presumably reflecting the unique C- terminal domain that is distinct from that present in NF-kappa B p65 .
92269839-7In addition, BSAP was found to be the only abundant DNA-binding activity of B-cell nuclear extracts that interacts with the CD19 promoter .
97064186-7The IL-12 nonresponsiveness of the Th2 clones was further evident by the total lack of IL-12 -induced phosphorylation of STAT4 ( signal transducer and activator of transcription-4 ), a transcription factor that is typically involved in IL-12 signaling . Consequently, IL-12 also failed to induce the DNA-binding activity of STAT4 -containing complexes in the nuclei of these Th2 clones .
91266912-6This protein reduces or abolishes in vitro the DNA binding activity of wild-type proteins of the same family ( KBF1/p50 , c- and v- rel ).
93266597-3We have investigated an oxidoreductive regulatory pathway for the DNA binding activity of a pleiotropic cellular transcription factor , nuclear factor kappa B ( NF kappa B ), has been investigated by using NF kappa B prepared from the nucleus and the cytosol of the primary human T lymphocytes .
92368408-7However, CsA and FK506 inhibit the appearance of DNA binding activity of factors that bind to the NF-AT and AP-1 sites in the IL-2 enhancer.
94107268-9 Pervanadate activated NF-kappa B , as shown by an increase in DNA-binding activity of this transcription factor .
92118719-11These findings suggest that reduced cysteine thiols play an important role in the DNA binding activity of this family of Rel-related transcription factors .
97126060-7This protein complex was more abundant in U-937 , K-562 , and HeLa cell extracts than in Raji , HF , BALB/c 3T3 , or HL-60 cells , but the binding activity was altered only twofold after TPA treatment.
92066454-5Similar DNA binding activity was detected in a variety of virus-uninfected human T cell lines and HeLa cells by means of a gel mobility shift assay .
93281652-6To ascertain whether the abnormal NF-AT binding activity was related to an impaired function, we transfected patient and control T lymphocytes with constructs containing the reporter gene encoding chloramphenicol acetyl transferase ( CAT ) under the control of the entire IL2 regulatory region or of multimers of individual enhancer sequences .
93289270-2AB - Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) hormone-binding activity was studied by a whole-cell method in mononuclear cells ( MNC ) from peripheral blood of 7 patients during the hemodynamic compensatory phase of sepsis .
93281652-4 Nuclear factor NF-kB , activation protein 1 ( AP-1 ), OCT-1 , and NF-IL-2B binding activity were normal.
92088960-4The generation of AP-1 complexes , as measured by DNA binding activity , closely parallels morphological differentiation .
96322726-3Cell activation resulted in a delayed induction of STAT DNA-binding activity , which was sustained for several days, was composed predominantly of Stat1 and Stat3 , and was blocked by cycloheximide and actinomycin D .
92118719-9Similarly, covalent modification of free sulfhydryl groups with diamide (reversible) or N-ethylmaleimide (irreversible) results in a complete loss of DNA binding activity .
92001749-6To elucidate the mechanism of GM- CSF gene activation , we have purified the inducible factor NF-GM2 from the nuclear extract of stimulated Jurkat cells on the basis of specific DNA-binding activity .
96320604-10Neither IL-10 nor IL-4 inhibited LPS-induced NF-kappa B binding activity .
96320604-6In electrophoretic mobility shift assays ( EMSAs ) we showed that IL-10 and IL-4 inhibited LPS- induced AP-1 binding activity .
96357043-6Furthermore, the analysis of IkappaBalpha turnover demonstrated an increased degradation of IkappaBalpha in HIV-1 -infected cells that may account for the constitutive DNA binding activity .
96320604-13Thus, IL-10 and IL-4 similarly affect IL-6 expression. However, for IL-4 this was accompanied with a reduction of AP-1 and NF- IL6 binding activity whereas IL-10 only inhibited AP-1 binding activity.
92060325-9The numbers and binding affinities of these receptors could not account for the observed difference in the susceptibility of these cells to functional inhibition by dexamethasone in vitro.
97132051-5Peripheral blood mononuclear cell GCR binding affinities for dexamethasone and budesonide were also determined for both patient groups by using a radioligand binding assay and Scatchard analysis . RESULTS: Dose-dependent inhibition was demonstrated for all glucocorticoids in both patient groups, with the steroid-resistant group requiring approximately 2 log-fold more glucocorticoids for an equivalent degree of inhibition.
92317168-3In this study multiple NF- kappa B related polypeptides ranging from 85 to 45 kDa were examined for their capacity to interact with the PRDII regulatory element of interferon beta and were shown to possess distinct intrinsic DNA binding affinities for this NF-kappa B site and form multiple DNA binding homo- and hetero dimer complexes in co-renaturation experiments. Furthermore, using DNA templates containing two copies of the PRDII domain linked to the rabbit beta globin gene , the purified polypeptides specifically stimulated NF-kappa B dependent transcription in an in vitro reconstitution assay as heterodimers but not as p50 homodimers . These experiments emphasize the role of NF-kappa B dimerization as a distinct level of transcriptional control that may permit functional diversification of a limited number of regulatory proteins .
97132051-9The GCR binding affinity for budesonide was significantly higher in both groups (i.e., lower dissociation constant ) than that obtained for dexamethasone . CONCLUSION: These data suggest that glucocorticoids such as budesonide , by virtue of their high GCR binding affinities and greater ability to suppress lymphocyte proliferation , may therefore be beneficial in the management of difficult-to-control asthma .
97132051-3Synthetic glucocorticoids vary in their binding affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor (GCR).
97132051-7In addition, a significant correlation was noted between the degree of inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation ( IC50 ) and the binding affinity of dexamethasone to the GCR .
97128276-4To further elucidate the role of this variant octamer motif in the regulation of germline transcription from the unrearranged kappa locus , we have quantitated the relative binding affinity of Oct-1 and Oct-2 for the variant octamer motif and determined the functional role of this octamer motif in transcriptional activation .
97103140-6Further, an inverse relationship was also observed between sterol modulated LDL-receptor gene transcription and the binding affinity of this 47 kDa factor to the SRE sequence .
97119289-4However, this factor appeared when these CML patients achieved complete haematological remission ( CHR ) through alpha-interferon therapy . Furthermore, an inverse relationship was also observed between the LDL receptor gene expression at the transcriptional level and the binding affinity of this 47 kDa protein factor to the SRE sequence .
94110342-9The other two SR patients had an abnormally low GR number with normal binding affinity that was not limited to T cells .
97132051-8Patients with steroid-resistant asthma have been shown to have a reduced GCR binding affinity.
91364264-6RESULTS: In patients , both total and free plasma cortisol concentrations were higher than in the normal women , as was their urinary free cortisol ; the number of glucocorticoid receptors per cell ( Ro ) and the binding affinity ( Kd ) for dexamethasone were, however, not significantly different ( Ro : 7687 +/- 1750 vs 7347 +/- 1285 sites/cell; Kd : 7.7 +/- 2.4 vs 7.4 +/- 1.7 nM at 24 degrees C).

96399059-5Addition of the -176 to -96 sequence to the 4X NF-AT-Oct construct did not impart the ability to be affected by anergy, but addition of the -236 to -96 sequence did, demonstrating that anergy is an active inhibitory process and that more than the presence of the -150 AP-1 binding site ( -152 to -147 ) is required to mediate the effect.

93224733-6This was evidenced by the ability of the AP-1 site to compete with the NF-AT site for binding to NF-AT and by the capacity of immobilized anti-Jun and anti-Fos antibodies to deplete NF-AT -binding activity from nuclear extracts of activated T cells .
94051535-11It is evident that assembly of the surface domain of TF with VIIa to form the binary TF.VIIa complex induces a significant increase in the Kcat of the catalytic domain of VIIa for small peptidyl substrates and more profoundly for protein substrate .

93314685-5Their IL-2 transcription seems to be controlled solely by the transition from inactive to active functional state of a positive transcription factor binding to these promoter elements as well as its cytoplasmic or nuclear location: in resting memory T cells the activator is located in the cytoplasm and is inactive, whereas in stimulated cells it is functional in promoting transcription and now resides in the nucleus .

92049367-2AB - We have used a DNA-binding/immunoprecipitation assay to analyze the capacity of human glucocorticoid receptor ( hGR ), generated in rabbit reticulocyte lysates , to bind DNA.
94151327-5However, these effects on I kappa B alpha result in nuclear mobilization of only a fraction of the entire cytoplasmic pool of RelA . Subsequent studies have revealed that (i) cytoplasmic RelA is stably associated not only with I kappa B alpha but also with other ankyrin motif-rich proteins including the products of the NF-kappa B2 (p100) and NF-kappa B1 (p105) genes ; (ii) in contrast to RelA - I kappa B alpha , RelA -p100 cytoplasmic complexes are not dissociated following tumor necrosis factor alpha activation; (iii) p100 functions as a potent inhibitor of RelA -mediated transcription in vivo; (iv) the interaction of RelA and p100 involves the conserved Rel homology domain of both proteins but not the nuclear localization signal of RelA , which is required for I kappa B alpha binding; (v) p100 inhibition of RelA function requires the C-terminal ankyrin motif domain , which mediates cytoplasmic retention of RelA ; and (vi) as observed with I kappa B alpha , nuclear RelA stimulates p100 mRNA and protein expression .

94110342-10Furthermore, GR number failed to normalize after incubation in media alone or IL-2 and IL-4 . Therefore, SR asthma may be due to more than one abnormality, the majority related to a reversible cytokine -induced reduction in GR binding affinity and the second related to an irreversible reduction in GR number.
