Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional activity of the tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) gene is influenced by two major signal transduction pathways, by glucocorticoids and by glucagon acting via cAMP. We analyzed the effect of cAMP on protein-DNA interactions in vivo and on the transcription rate of the TAT gene. We demonstrate that a cAMP-responsive element (CRE) is located in a tissue-specific DNase I-hypersensitive region, 3.6...
