Differential Roles of Upstream Stimulatory Factors 1 and 2 in the Transcriptional Response of Liver Genes to Glucose
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
USF1 and USF2 are ubiquitous transcription factors of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper family. They form homo- and heterodimers and recognize a CACGTG motif termed E box. In the liver, USF binding activity is mainly accounted for by the USF1/USF2 heterodimer, which binds in vitro the glucose/carbohydrate response elements (GlRE/ChoRE) of glucose-responsive genes. To assign a physiological role of USFs in...
