S1 |
0-105 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Stimulation of interferon beta gene transcription in vitro by purified NF-kappa B and a novel TH protein. |
S2 |
106-293 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The human interferon beta (IFN-beta) regulatory element consists of multiple enhanson domains which are targets for transcription factors involved in inducible expression of the promoter. |
S3 |
294-575 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To further characterize the protein-DNA interactions mediating IFN-beta induction, positive regulatory domain (PRD) II binding proteins were purified from phorbol ester induced Jurkat T-cells and from IFN primed, cycloheximide/polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid treated HeLa S3 cells. |
S4 |
576-806 |
Sentence |
denotes |
From HeLa cells, two major proteins of 52 and 45 kilodaltons (kD) copurified with DNA binding activity, whereas from T-cells, four proteins--a major protein of 52 kD and three minor proteins of 82, 67, and 43-47 kD--were purified. |
S5 |
807-961 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Also, an induction specific DNA binding protein was purified from HeLa cells that interacted with the (AAGTGA)4 tetrahexamer sequence and the PRDI domain. |
S6 |
962-1020 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This protein is immunologically distinct from IRF-1/ISGF2. |
S7 |
1021-1159 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Uninduced or Sendai virus induced HeLa extracts were used to examine transcription in vitro using a series of IFN beta promoter deletions. |
S8 |
1160-1311 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Deletions upstream of the PRDII element increased transcription in the uninduced extract, indicating predominantly negative regulation of the promoter. |
S9 |
1312-1500 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A 2-4-fold increase in IFN-beta promoter transcription was observed in Sendai virus induced extracts, and deletion of PRDI and PRDII elements decreased this induced level of transcription. |
S10 |
1501-1638 |
Sentence |
denotes |
When purified PRDII and tetrahexamer binding proteins were added to the induced extract, a 4-fold increase in transcription was observed. |
S11 |
1639-1828 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These experiments demonstrate that it is possible to modulate IFN-beta transcription in vitro but indicate that additional proteins may be required to fully activate IFN-beta transcription. |
