Cloning and characterisation of a bZIP transcription factor from a resurrection grass, Eragrostis nindensis
… as by abscisic acid (ABA). Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors have been shown to specifically bind and activate transcription from G-boxes in a dimerized form. A 1.5 kb cDNA for a bZIP class transcription factor, designated EnGBF1, was cloned from a desiccation-tolerant grass, …

A mosquito-specific bZIP transcription factor and the influence of a Y-specific gene on sex determination in Anopheles stephensi
… work were to investigate a mosquito-specific transcription factor and its intronic miRNA cluster and characterize a novel Y chromosome gene in An. stephensi. The aims of these experiments were to expand on the knowledge of genes involved in embryonic development and sex determination with …

Regulation of de-etiolation and stomatal opening responses by HYPOSENSITIVE TO LIGHT and HYPERSENSITIVE TO RED AND BLUE 1.
… in the nucleus. ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5), a BZip transcription factor, directly binds to both C/G-box and G-box in HTL promoter and regulates HTL expression. Evidences suggest that HTL represents a new signaling step downstream of HY5 in de-etiolation responses. In Chapter III, we discovered …

Development And Application Of Next Generation Sequencing Pipelines In Arabidopsis
… of gene expression and chromatin compaction with transcription factor LFY ChIP-seq annotation reveals the role of LFY-binding as a prerequisite for unlocking genes necessary for inflorescence. In Chapter 3, ChIP-Seq was used to reveal where bZIP transcription factor FD recruits TFL1 to compete for …

Influences of nutrition and pathogenicity from a microbial diet on immunity and longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans
… restriction. Chapter Three explores how a bZIP transcription factor works to regulate the response to pathogenic bacteria downstream of p38 MAP Kinase signaling. In Chapter Four, I present ideas for exploring the future directions of these two projects that focus on untangling how C. …

Dual regulation of transcription factor Nrf2 by Keap1 and the beta-TrCP/GSK-3 in cancer
… deaths occurring globally. NF-E2 p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a cap-‘n’-collar basic leucine zipper (CNC-bZIP) transcription factor, prevents carcinogenesis through expression of genes that ensure the excretion, enzymatic modification, and repair of oxidative damage in cells containing the …

Mechanisms by which natural polyphenols regulate the expression of cytoprotective genes
… insult and reduce oxidative stress. The CNC-bZIP transcription factor, Nrf2, is known to regulate the expression of many of the genes involved in these processes. Under homeostatic conditions, the Nrf2 protein is targeted by its inhibitor Keap1 for ubiquitination in the cytosol. Upon redox …

Structure and Function Analysis of a Plant Transcription Activator
… as-1 function and binding of a tobacco nuclear factor, activation sequence factor (ASF)-1. Two other TGACG-containing cis-elements from plant promoters were identified by a computer assisted search of a gene bank. These cis-elements, hex-1 from the wheat histone H3 promoter and nos-1 from the …

Charakterisierung der Nicotiana tabacum bZIP-Transkriptionsfactoren BZI-2, BZI-3 und BZI-4 als Heterodimerisierungspartner von BZI-1
In dieser Arbeit wurden drei bZIP-Transkriptionsfaktoren, BZI-2, BZI-3 und BZI-4 isoliert und charakterisiert, die mit BZI-1 heterodimerisieren. Im Gegensatz zu BZI-1, das ubiquitär exprimiert wird, zeigen die anderen BZI-Proteine differentielle Expressionsmuster. BZI-2 wird vor allem in den …
