CRE binding protein

  • 文章类型: Journal Article
    Cellular expression of the TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR) protein results in the down-regulation of glycolysis, reduction of intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species, and protection from apoptosis. However, despite its biological importance, the mechanisms that regulate its expression remain obscure. The bioinformatic analysis performed in this study indicates that the TIGAR promoter region is highly conserved among species. Further analysis using 5\'-deletion analysis and site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that the region at -4/+13 contained a cAMP-response element (CRE). EMSA and chromatin immunoprecipitation showed that the site was recognized by CRE-binding protein (CREB). Furthermore, knockdown of CREB substantially reduced promoter activity and TIGAR expression in cells. In addition, over-expression of either CREB or forskolin enhanced promoter activity and TIGAR expression. These results provide evidence that CREB regulates TIGAR expression via a CRE-binding site at the TIGAR promoter.
