Example sentences for: gire
How can you use “gire” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In response to glucose, transcription of several glycolytic and lipogenic genes are activated through the glucose/carbohydrate/insulin response element (GIRE, ChoRE or IRE) [ 3 4 ] . Upstream stimulatory factors (USF) 1 and 2 are characterized by a basic/helix loop helix/leucine zipper domain responsible for dimerization and DNA binding, and are major components of the GIRE complex [ 5 6 7 8 ] .
C; catalytic subunit, cAMP; cyclic adenosine monophosphate, CAT; chloramphenicol acetyl transferase, C/EBP; CAAT/enhancer binding protein, ChoRE; carbohydrate response element, CMV; cytalomega virus, 8-CPT-cAMP; 8-(4-chlorophenyl)thio-cAMP, CREB; cAMP-response element binding protein, EMSA; electrophoretic mobility shift assay, FAS; fatty acid synthase, FSH; follicle stimulating hormone, GIRE; glucose/insulin response element, hCG; human chorionic gonadotrophin, HLH; helix-loop-helix, IRE; insulin response element, MHC; major histocompability complex, PGHS; prostaglandin G/H synthase, PKA; cAMP-dependent protein kinase, R; regulatory subunit, USF; upstream stimulating factor, WB; Western blot.
The main USF isoforms USF1 (43 kDa) and USF2 (44 kDa) are ubiquitously expressed and encoded by separate genes [ 9 10 11 ] . In addition, more isoforms of USF2 are produced due to alternative splicing and utilization of different translation start sites [ 12 13 ] . USF factors exist as homo and heterodimers, and the heterodimer of USF1/USF2a seems to dominate, although there are cell-type specific variations [ 12 ] . USF1 and USF2 show different transactivating potential, and USF2 appears to be the functional transactivator of the GIRE complex, although both USF1 and USF2 are important for sustained dietary-induced expression of the fatty acid synthase gene in liver [ 14 ] .
