Evidence that ARNT plays a role in the regulation of the immunoglobulin heavy chain enhancer and identification of a putative ARNT ligand
… In our study we tested the function of ARNT (Ah receptor nuclear translocator) at the IgH (immunoglobulin heavy chain) enhancer. We were able to determine that ARNT appears to partially down-regulate activation at the IgH enhancer by Pan-1 in transient transfection assays by …

Investigation of ARNT isoform-specific regulation of AHR signaling
… aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) is alternatively spliced into two distinct isoforms, isoform 1 and 3. Although ARNT is found to be critical in immunity, xenobiotic, and hypoxic response, ARNT isoform-specific function has yet to be investigated. We previously demonstrated …

Structural Characterization and Chemical Inhibition of the ARNT/TACC3 Complex
… hypoxia response, directly interacting with the ARNT subunit of HIF in a novel and promoter-specific way. However, misregulation by overexpression or activating fusions (for example, FGFR-TACC3) is sufficient for transformation and associated with the development of glioblastoma, renal cell …

Mechanistic study of aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT)-mediated signaling
… aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT)-interacting peptide (Ainpl) was characterized from human liver cDNA library using phage display. Ainpl suppresses hypoxia inducible factor-1a (HIF-1α) signaling pathway through an ARNTdependent manner. HIF-1α is known to be overexpressed in …

ARNT isoforms differentially regulate cancer cell growth through a p53-dependent mechanism.
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) is an important player in xenobiotic and hypoxic responses. In addition to this, my mentor has shown that ARNT is an integral cofactor of NF-kB signaling. However, these initial observations of ARNT-mediated NF-kB modulation were based on …

Myeloid-Specific ARNT Signaling Drives Sex-Based Differences in Acrolein-Induced Pulmonary Toxicity
… investigates the role of myeloid-specific ARNT in modulating the pulmonary immune response to acrolein, a highly reactive environmental toxicant. Using a murine model with myeloid-specific overexpression of Arnt-a (homolog of human ARNT isoform 1), this study characterizes both the both the …

Using affinity purification -- mass spectrometry to identify aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator interacting proteins
<p>The aryl hydrocarbon nuclear translocator (ARNT) belongs to the family of basic helix loop helix proteins. ARNT forms a heterodimer with aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). This heterodimer binds to the dioxin responsive element (DRE) causing the regulation of the gene expression of some enzymes …

Environmental signals that control T lymphocytes in the gastrointestinal tract
… Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator (ARNT) binds the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) and also the Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α (HIF-1α). Both the AHR and HIF-1α are key sensors of the microenvironment. Dietary tryptophan metabolites and microbiota catabolites are AHR ligands and HIF-1α …

Exploring the role and the function of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) and Aryl Hydrocarbon Nuclear Translocator (ARNT) in T cells
… and the Aryl Hydrocarbon Nuclear Translocator (ARNT) play a role in mediating transcriptional responses to environmental pollutants, including the highly toxic compound 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo -p-dioxin (TCDD) but also endogenous physiological ligands. More recent studies have also indicated …

Analysis of the Role of bHLH/PAS Proteins in Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Signaling
… receptor (AHR) is a basic helix-loop-helix PER/ARNT/SIM (bHLH-PAS) transcription factor that binds ligands typified by 2,3,7,8-tetracholordibenzo-p-dioxin, translocates to the nucleus, dimerizes with the aryl hydrocarbon nuclear translocator (ARNT) and associates with specific cis xenobiotic …

A Fragile Native State Structure: An Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator (ARNT) Variant Exhibits Slow Interconversion Kinetics Between two Different Folds
… aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) is a promiscuous basic helix-loop-helix Period/ARNT/Single-minded (bHLH-PAS) protein that controls various biological pathways by forming heterodimeric transcriptional regulator complexes with several other bHLH-PAS proteins via the beta-sheet …

Study of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor as a target for rational drug design
… aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (Arnt) for transcriptional regulation. We generated three N-terminal deletion constructs of the human AhR of 12-24 KDa in size—namely D1 (aa 84-295), D2 (aa 84-192) and D3 (aa 191-295)—to suppress the Arnt function. We observed that all three …

Bacterial expression of radio-labeled recombinant proteins for studying AHR signalling
… with the Aryl Hydrocarbon Nuclear Translocator (ARNT) in response to planar aromatic hydrocarbons. In addition to AHR and ARNT there are at least three other proteins involved in AHR signaling. These proteins are the co-chaperone p23, Ara-9 and two molecules of Heat Shock Protein-90 (HSP-90). …

Investigating mechanisms and biological functions of the bHLH/PAS transcription factors SIM1 and ARNT2
The basic Helix-Loop-Helix/PER-ARNT-SIM (bHLH/PAS) family of transcription factors are involved in gene regulation during both embryonic development and throughout adulthood to maintain cellular homeostasis. Members of this family must heterodimerise to activate or repress target gene expression. …

Characterization of Aryl Hydrocarbon receptor and Kruppel-Like-Factor-6 interaction
… Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator (ARNT). The canonical AhR-ARNT complex binds to DNA regions known as Xenobiotic Response Elements (XRE), inducing the transcription of target genes. Our previous results demonstrated that the AhR is also involved in a novel protein-DNA complex with …
