Abstract excerpt
Previous studies showed that Pit-1 functionally cooperates with GATA-2 to stimulate transcription of the TSH beta gene. Pit-1 and GATA-2 are uniquely coexpressed in pituitary thyrotropes and activate transcription by binding to a composite promoter element. To define the domains of Pit-1 important for functional cooperativity with GATA-2, we cotransfected a set of Pit-1 deletions with an mTSH beta-luciferase...
