Recognition of interferon-inducible sites, promoters, and enhancers

Abstract: Background: Computational analysis of gene regulatory regions is important for prediction of functions of many uncharacterized genes. With this in mind, search of the target genes for interferon (IFN) induction appears of interest. IFNs are multi-functional cytokines. Their effects are immunomodulatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and antitumor. The interaction of the IFNs with their cell surface receptors produces an activation of several transcription factors. Four regulatory factors, ISGF3, STAT1, IRF1, and N… Show more

“…Based on the RANTES promoter region [26] , [34] , IRF-1 was identified as a proximal transcription factor and the increases in TNFα- or IL-1β-induced in nuclear IRF-1 levels were analyzed by western blotting [ Figure 6A ]. In these experiments the IRF-1 levels on western blots were quantified by densitomery and IRF-1 levels were calculated as a fold change from nuclear IRF-1 densitometry from control cells.…”

“…A number of Stat1- and ISGF3-binding sites were predicted for each sequence part. We decided to concentrate on the homologous sequence part nearest to the transcription start site (-161 to -637) of Oct-6 , based on a report showing that the regions -500 bp upstream of the transcription start site of IFN-inducible genes are enriched in predicted binding sites for Stat1 and ISGF3 [ 63 ].…”

“…IFN-γ tarafından düzenlenen 200'den fazla gen bilinmektedir. Bu genlerdeki mutasyonlar viral, bakteriyel, paraziter ve bazı otoimmün hastalıklara karşı duyarlılığı artırabilmektedir 23,24 . IFN-γ +874 genetik varyantların HCV enfeksiyonunda klinik seyri etkileyebileceği, genotip ve alel faklılıkları ile polimorfizmler arasındaki etkileşimlerin ise HCV enfeksiyonunu kronikleşme veya sponton klirens yönünde değiştirebileceği belirtilmektedir [25][26][27] .…”
