Expression of myogenic factors in denervated chicken breast muscle: isolation of the chicken Myf5 gene.

Saitoh, O, Fujisawa-Sehara, A, Nabeshima, Y, Periasamy, M

In this study, we have isolated and characterized the chicken Myf5 gene, and cDNA clones encoding chicken MyoD1 and myogenin. The chicken Myf5 and MRF4 genes are tandemly located on a single genomic...

Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequences of the complementary DNAs to chicken skeletal muscle myosin two alkali light chain mRNAs.

Nabeshima, Y, Fujii-Kuriyama, Y, Muramatsu, M, Ogata, K

We report here the molecular cloning and sequence analysis of DNAs complementary to mRNAs for myosin alkali light chain of chicken embryo and adult leg skeletal muscle. pSMA2-1 contained an 818...

Regulation of the chicken embryonic myosin light-chain (L23) gene: existence of a common regulatory element shared by myosin alkali light-chain genes.

Uetsuki, T, Nabeshima, Y, Fujisawa-Sehara, A, Nabeshima, Y

The transcriptional regulation of the chicken myosin alkali light-chain (MLC) L23 gene was analyzed. Two different types of cis-regulatory regions were identified: one was a silencerlike region...

Upstream regulatory region for inducible expression of the chicken skeletal myosin alkali light-chain gene.

Shirakata, M, Nabeshima, Y, Konishi, K, Fujii-Kuriyama, Y

The expression of the fast type of myosin alkali light chain 1 is induced during the differentiation of muscle cells. To study the mechanism of its gene regulation, we joined the sequence of the...

MyoD and myogenin act on the chicken myosin light-chain 1 gene as distinct transcriptional factors.

Asakura, A, Fujisawa-Sehara, A, Komiya, T, Nabeshima, Y, Nabeshima, Y

Expression of MyoD, myogenin, MRF4, and Myf-5 converts nonmuscle cells to muscle cells. In an attempt to analyze the roles of these factors, we have investigated their effects on transcription driven...

UTF1, a novel transcriptional coactivator expressed in pluripotent embryonic stem cells and extra-embryonic cells.

Okuda, A, Fukushima, A, Nishimoto, M, Orimo, A, Yamagishi, T, Nabeshima, Y, ...

We have obtained a novel transcriptional cofactor, termed undifferentiated embryonic cell transcription factor 1 (UTF1), from F9 embryonic carcinoma (EC) cells. This protein is expressed in EC and...

The delta-crystallin enhancer-binding protein delta EF1 is a repressor of E2-box-mediated gene activation.

Sekido, R, Murai, K, Funahashi, J, Kamachi, Y, Fujisawa-Sehara, A, Nabeshima, Y, ...

The repressor delta EF1 was discovered by its action on the DC5 fragment of the lens-specific delta 1-crystallin enhancer. C-proximal zinc fingers of delta EF1 were found responsible for binding to...
