| Enhancer experiment: | Luciferase Reporter Assay,PCR | |
| Enhancer experiment description: | To address this hypothesis these regions, designated intronic enhancers A and B, respectively, were isolated using PCR and ligated 5′ of a heterologous thymidine kinase (TK)-luciferase fusion gene containing TK genomic sequence between −105 and +51, relative to the transcription start site.Luciferase expression directed by these fusion genes was then analyzed by transient transfection of βTC-3 cells, an islet beta cell-derived line [31], αTC-6 cells, an islet alpha cell-derived line [32, 33] and HeLa cells, a cervix-derived cell line. |
About Target gene
| Target gene : | Slc30a8(ZNT8,ZnT-8) | |
| Strong evidence: | -- | |
| Less strong evidence: | PCR,Luciferase Reporter Assay | |
| Target gene experiment description: | Luciferase expression directed by these fusion genes was then analyzed by transient transfection of βTC-3 cells, an islet beta cell-derived line [31], αTC-6 cells, an islet alpha cell-derived line [32, 33] and HeLa cells, a cervix-derived cell line. Figure 2 shows that in βTC-3 cells, but not αTC-6 or HeLa cells, intronic enhancer A elevated reporter gene expression beyond that driven by the TK-luciferase fusion gene alone, indicating that this region is an islet beta cell-specific enhancer. In contrast, intronic enhancer B had no effect on fusion gene expression in any of the cell lines. |
About TF
| TF name : | Pbx1(2310056B04Rik,D230003C07Rik,Pbx-1) | |
| TF experiment: | ChIP,EMSA | |
| TF experiment description: | Gel retardation and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays revealed that the islet-enriched transcription factor Pdx-1 binds Enhancer A in vitro and in situ, respectively. |
