Th2-Specific Protein/DNA Interactions at the Proximal Nuclear Factor-AT Site Contribute to the Functional Activity of the Human IL-4 Promoter
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
IL-4 is a pleiotropic immunoregulatory cytokine secreted by activated Th2, but not Th1, cells. The proximal IL-4 promoter contains MARE, C/EBP, P0, octamer-like, P1, and activating protein-1 elements. The half c-Maf binding site (MARE), P0, and P1 sites were previously shown to be involved in Th2-specific transcriptional activity. Except the MARE and P1 site, the molecular basis for Th2 specificity of the P0 site...
