Abstract excerpt
Heavy metal-induced transcriptional activation of the genes coding for metallothionein (MT) is mediated by a cis-acting DNA element, the metal-responsive element (MRE). MRE-binding transcription factor-1 (MTF-1) is a highly conserved heavy metal-induced transcriptional activator. MTF-1 also activates transcription in response to oxidative stress and regulates the expression of several cytoprotective factor genes,...
