Protein Kinase A-Dependent Derepression of the Human Prodynorphin Gene via Differential Binding to an Intragenic Silencer Element
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Induction of the prodynorphin gene has been implicated in medium and long-term adaptation during memory acquisition and pain. By 5' deletion mapping and site-directed mutagenesis of the human prodynorphin promoter, we demonstrate that both basal transcription and protein kinase A (PKA)-induced transcription in NB69 and SK-N-MC human neuroblastoma cells are regulated by the GAGTCAAGG sequence centered at position...
