CBFα3 (AML2) Is Induced by TGF-β1 to Bind and Activate the Mouse Germline Ig α Promoter
1998-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract TGF-β1 directs class switching to IgA by splenic B cells and by the surface IgM+ B cell line, I.29μ, by inducing germline (GL) Ig α transcripts. The promoter segment between −130 and +46, relative to the first initiation site for mouse GL α transcripts, is sufficient for expression and TGF-β1 inducibility of a reporter gene in B cell lines. Within this segment resides a TGF-β1-responsive element (TβRE) th...
