Abstract

We demonstrate that Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells possess a 33-41-kilodalton protein with DNA-binding properties remarkably similar to those of the immunoglobulin enhancer-binding protein NF-muE3. We further show that the muE3-binding site functions as an upstream activating sequence in yeast cells, stimulating transcription from a truncated CYC1 promoter. These data suggest that the yeast protein, designated YEB-3, and NF-muE3 are functionally related and perhaps evolutionarily conserved.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.
