Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase-Mediated Disruption of Enhancer-Promoter Communication Inhibits Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4α Expression
15 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF-4) is a key member of the transcription factor network regulating hepatocyte differentiation and function. Activation of the HNF-4 gene involves physical interaction between a distant enhancer and the proximal promoter region, bound by distinct sets of transcription factors. Here we report that, upon mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation, HNF-4 expression is...
