Title:
p27/Kip1遺伝子の5’上流に存在するビタミンD3応答配列、および該配列を利用した薬剤のスクリーニング方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4828070
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A 44-bp region that confers vitamin D3-responsiveness to the human p27Kip1 promoter in the human p27Kip1 transcriptional regulatory mechanism was revealed. This region also conferred vitamin D3-responsiveness to a heterogenous promoter. Moreover, it was found that vitamin D3 enhances the binding between the CCAAT box existing in the region and the NF-Y protein and also the binding between the Sp1 sequence (also existing in the region) and the Sp1 protein, thus inducing human p27Kip1 transcription. Also revealed were methods of screening for pharmaceutical agents that regulate the expression of the p27Kip1 gene using these molecular mechanisms.
