The DNA Binding Activity of Metal Response Element-binding Transcription Factor-1 Is Activated in vivo and in Vitro by Zinc, but Not by Other Transition Metals
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
We examined the DNA binding activity of mouse and human MTF-1 in whole cell extracts from cells cultured in medium containing zinc or cadmium and from untreated cells after the in vitro addition of zinc or cadmium, as well as using recombinant MTF-1 transcribed and translated in vitro and treated with various transition metals. Incubation of human (HeLa) or mouse (Hepa) cells in medium containing cadmium (5-15...
