2001 ). For site-directed mutagenesis of putative transcription factor-binding sites, the QuikChange II XL Kit (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA) was used according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The sequences of all the constructs were verified by

-expression of C/EBPα downregulated ACOX1 luciferase activity. (B) The schematic diagram of site-directed mutagenesis in the predicted C/EBPα binding sites in the ACOX1 promoter. (C and D) A series of mutants of three C/EBPα binding sites were constructed and

-activators and utilizes an alternative LBD region for transcriptional activation. In this study, we have used structural modeling to identify an alternative co-activator interaction surface in the Nurr1 LBD. Combined with site-directed mutagenesis, these studies

.3) buffer and visualized by autoradiography by exposure to Kodak XAR film at −80 °C with intensifying screens. Site-directed mutagenesis The rat APJR 5′-flanking region 1 kb construct, bp −966 to −7 subcloned into the pGL3

(Guthrie cDNA Resource Center) was subjected to site-directed mutagenesis using the Stratagene QuickChange II XL site-directed mutagenesis kit. Mutagenic primers introduced or eliminated unique restriction sites (silent mutations) into the cDNA encoding

Technologies (Rockville, MD, USA). Naturally occurring TG2 mutants and the transamidation-activity dead Cys277Ala-TG2 mutant (as a negative control for transamidation function of TG2) were made using a site-directed mutagenesis kit ( Ande et al . 2009 a , b

). After the D1 cDNA cloning ( Berry et al. 1991 a ), site-directed mutagenesis and deletion analysis have identified several functional regions of the D1 protein ( Berry et al. 1991 b , 1992 , Toyoda et al. 1995 a , b , 1997 , Leonard et al
