Abstract

H(+)/peptide cotransporter 1 (PEPT1, SLC15A1) localized at the brush-border membranes of intestinal epithelial cells plays important roles in the intestinal absorption of small peptides and a variety of peptidemimetic drugs. We previously demonstrated that transcription factor Sp1 functions as a basal transcriptional regulator of human PEPT1. However, the factor responsible for the intestine-specific expression of PEPT1 remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effect of the intestinal transcription factors on the transcription of the PEPT1 gene and found that only Cdx2 markedly trans-activated the PEPT1 promoter. However, the promoter region responsible for this effect lacked a typical Cdx2-binding sequence, but instead, possessed some Sp1-binding sites. In vitro experiments using Caco-2 cells showed that (1) mutation of the Sp1-binding site diminished the effect of Cdx2, (2) co-expression of Cdx2 and Sp1 synergistically trans-activated the PEPT1 promoter and (3) Sp1 protein was immunoprecipitated with Cdx2 protein. These results raise the possibility that Cdx2 modulates the PEPT1 promoter by interaction with Sp1. The significance of Cdx2 in vivo for PEPT1 regulation was shown by the determination of mRNA leve...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.
