“…Other UGT1 isoforms that show reduced drug metabolism have also been reported (Ando et al 2000;Ciotti et al 1997;Guillemette et al 2000a;Adachi et al 1996). Indeed, all the mutant UGTs reported previously showed reduced activity (Yamamoto et al 1998;Ueyama et al 1997). In the present study, however, the variant UGT1A3 showed increased activity, with a relative efficiency of 370% (for W11R-V47A) ( Table 2).…”

“…The proximal Ϫ2.9-kbp promoter of the UGT1A1 gene was cloned 15 ; the sequence of Ϫ3.2 kbp of the promoter was reported previously. 16 To clone a further up-stream sequence of the UGT1A1 gene, primers 5Ј-CTTCATTGGGAAGGA-GCAGGGACACTACATTGAG-3Ј and 5Ј-CCTCTGCCTTGCTCTC-AAAACTCTGGGATAGAC-were designed from the 3Ј-region of immediate up-stream UGT1BP gene (accession number M84126) and the sequence within the 3.2-kbp DNA (accession number D87674), respectively. A 9-kbp DNA was amplified from HepG2 genomic DNA prepared using a QIAamp Tissue Kit (QIAGEN), LA-Taq DNA polymerase (Panvera/Takara, Madison, WI), and these primers.…”

“…The UA fragment was generated from pCAT/2.9 kbp, 15 and the UB-fragment was amplified from HepG2 genomic DNA with the primers 5Ј-CATAGTGGTACCACTCTGAATTTTCTGTGCCCA-3Ј and 5Ј-agtccactcgagTTTGAGGCTGCTTCTGCTGTG-3Ј, which were designed based on a reported sequence. 16 U2K, UC, UD, UE, and UF fragments were prepared from the 9-kbp DNA using convenient restriction enzymes. All these fragments were cloned into pGL3TK-firefly luciferase reporter plasmid, 14 and the U2K DNA sequence was determined (GenBank accession number AF313454).…”

“…The TATA-box region is the binding site for the transcription factor IID, thereby playing an important role in the initiation of transcription [7]. A variation in this sequence thus reduces the efficiency and accuracy of gene expression, subsequently leading to higher bilirubin levels [7,9,18].…”
