title: Two nuclear proteins bind to the promoter P3 region of the human parathyroid hormone-related peptide gene.
abstract: We have used a 5' regulatory sequence fragment of the human parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) gene to identify nuclear DNA-binding proteins (DBP), using South-Western analysis. The PTHrP 549 bp DNA fragment was amplified from a human genomic DNA, and composed of 5' non-coding exon Ic, the intervening intron and 5' non-coding exon II. The DNA fragment bound very specifically to a 70 kDa and a 65 kD protein from the nuclear extract of human hepatocyte, HepG2, and keratinocyte, SVK-14, cell lines. This is the first evidence of a physical binding between nuclear protein and the human PTHrP gene. The 70 kDa and 65 kDa nuclear proteins may have a role in the regulation of human PTHrP gene expression.
