title: Further characterization of negative regulatory element involved in the hormonal regulation of GlcNAc-1-P transferase gene in mouse mammary gland.
abstract: The gene encoding UDP-GlcNAc:dolichol phosphate N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase (GPT), the enzyme that initiates the pathway for the biosynthesis of asparagine-linked glycoproteins, is ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotic cells. However, its expression in the mammary gland is developmentally and hormonally regulated; transcription of the mouse mammary GPT gene is stimulated by the lactogenic hormones, insulin, glucocorticoid, and prolactin. Earlier, we demonstrated that a distal negative regulatory element in mouse GPT (mGPT) promoter plays an important role in developmental and hormonal control of mGPT gene expression in mammary gland (Ma J, Saito H, Oka T and Vijay IK (1996) J Biol Chem, in press). In this report, a tissue distribution of the repressor that binds the negative regulatory element was examined; a comparison of the negative regulatory element to other consensus sequences for known transcription factors is discussed.
