描述(由申请人提供):本提案侧重于对核心推动者的理解。最近发现的核心启动子元件,motif ten element (MTE),位于转录起始位点的下游。一项初步研究发现,MTE的转录需要一个(或多个)特定因子,而tata依赖性转录则不需要。这些因子可能是新的基础转录因子。本研究计划为系统研究MTE及其所需因素提供了一个大纲。此外,还建议开展一个项目,将CpG岛屿定性为核心启动子。具体而言,(1)纯化和表征介导mte依赖性转录的因子,这些因子可能是新的基础转录因子;(2)研究TFIID与MTE的相互作用;(3)研究CpG岛内具有核心启动子活性的序列。总之,这些研究将有助于理解核心启动子和基本的细胞过程-转录激活。
英文摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal focuses on the understanding of core promoters. The most recent core promoter element identified, the motif ten element (MTE), is located downstream of the transcription start site. A preliminary study has found that transcription by the MTE requires a specific factor (or factors) that is not required for TATA-dependent transcription. These factors are likely to be novel basal transcription factors. This Research Proposal provides an outline for a systematic study of the MTE and its required factors. In addition, the initiation of a project involving the characterization of CpG islands as core promoters is proposed. Specifically, (1) to purify and characterize the factors that mediate MTE-dependent transcription, ones likely to be novel basal transcription factors; (2) investigate the interaction of TFIID with the MTE; (3) investigate the sequences within the CpG islands that have core promoter activity. Together, these studies will contribute to the understanding of core promoters and a fundamental cellular process- transcription activation.
