Abstract excerpt
Transcription of luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) gene is activated by Sp1/Sp3 at two Sp1 sites and is repressed by nuclear orphan receptors EAR2 and EAR3 through a direct-repeat (DR) motif. To elucidate the mechanism of the orphan receptor-mediated gene repression, we explored the functional connection between the orphan receptors and Sp1/Sp3 complex, and its impact on the basal transcription machinery. The...
