Abstract excerpt
Very little is known regarding molecular mechanism(s) underlying transcriptional regulation of any G-protein gene despite the importance of G-protein expression in modulating cellular processes. Here we show that phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ), which induce oxidative stress in cells, up-regulate transcription of Galpha(i2) in K562 cells. Redox-sensing chemicals abrogated this...
