[HTML][HTML] Insulin-induced early growth response gene (Egr-1) mediates a short term repression of rat malic enzyme gene transcription

I Barroso, P Santisteban - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 - ASBMB
In this report we have studied insulin regulation of malic enzyme (ME) gene transcription in
rat H-35 hepatoma cells and localized the insulin-responsive region of the ME promoter
between positions− 177 and− 102. This region contains a putative insulin response element
(IRE-II). When nuclear extracts from untreated or insulin-treated H-35 cells were incubated
with IRE-II, transcription factors Sp1 and Sp3 were observed to bind constitutively to this
element, whereas insulin induces the quick and transient binding of an insulin response …
