FOG-1 represses GATA-1-dependent FcϵRI β-chain transcription: transcriptional mechanism of mast-cell-specific gene expression in mice
8 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Cell-type-specific transcription of mouse high-affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI) beta-chain is positively regulated by the transcription factor GATA-1. Although GATA-1 is expressed in erythroid cells, megakaryocytes, and mast cells, the expression of mouse FcepsilonRI beta-chain is restricted to mast cells. In the present study, we characterized the role of GATA-associated cofactor FOG-1 in the regulation of...
