Androgen response element gene transcriptions

Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Henry A. Hoff

"Androgen receptors (ARs) (NR3C4; nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 4) have a crucial role in the development, function and homeostasis of PCa cells. ARs can be activated as a transcription factor via binding to androgen hormones (either testosterone or dihydrotestosterone). This receptor has two mainfunctional domains: ligand-binding and DNA-binding (DBD).8"[1]

"Androgen response elements structurally consist of a short DNA motif with base sequence specificity within the promoter upstream of the androgen-responsive genes. The HRE contains a pair of conserved sequences, which are separated by a three-nucleotide spacer. This sequence is determined as 5'-GGTACAnnnTGTTCT-3'10, 11 with 5'-CGG-3' as the spacer in the androgen response element."[1]

"The androgen response element sequence, 5'-GGTACACGGTGTTCT-3', was obtained from the National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI)."[1]

"ARE half sites, benefit from neighboring motifs or cooperating transcription factors in regulating gene expression."[2]

"AREs are well studied but poorly defined and have been shown to contain two hexamers with a three base-pair spacer with an inverted repeat in the second hexamer22."[2]

A "strict ideal 15mer motif search pattern of two hexamers with a 3mer spacer [is] AGAACANNNTGTTCT [...]."[2]

"The ideal 15mer model of AGAACANNNTGTTCT had 71 AREs."[2]

"Using the Jaspar motif database, we grouped significant transcription factor logos within a window of ±160 bp from the ARE with a p-value of less than 0.05. Top hits included forkhead box (FOX), Krüppel-like factors (KLF), basic helix-loop-helix (BHLH), sterol regulatory element binding factor (SREBF), and v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (MYC) families of transcription factors."[2]

"Taken together, the transcription factor network analysis (top hits in motif enrichment with p-values below 0.05) suggests that KLF, MYC, FOX, and SREBF families of transcription factors have the ability to utilize motifs in the cistrome of AREs and to cooperate with the AR."[2]

"Despite a larger number of weaker ARE half sites found in the proximity of KLF motifs, stronger AREs next to KLF motifs resulted in a larger transcriptional response."[2]

"The KLF family recognizing GC/GT boxes has been implicated in regulation of oncogenic expression signatures in LNCaP and PC3 prostate cancer cell lines85,86."[2]

Human genes

Gene ID: 367 is AR androgen receptor aka NR3C4 on Xq12: "The androgen receptor gene is more than 90 kb long and codes for a protein that has 3 major functional domains: the N-terminal domain, DNA-binding domain, and androgen-binding domain. The protein functions as a steroid-hormone activated transcription factor. Upon binding the hormone ligand, the receptor dissociates from accessory proteins, translocates into the nucleus, dimerizes, and then stimulates transcription of androgen responsive genes. This gene contains 2 polymorphic trinucleotide repeat segments that encode polyglutamine and polyglycine tracts in the N-terminal transactivation domain of its protein. Expansion of the polyglutamine tract from the normal 9-34 repeats to the pathogenic 38-62 repeats causes spinal bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA, also known as Kennedy's disease). Mutations in this gene are also associated with complete androgen insensitivity (CAIS). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms."[3]

Gene expressions

"Biased expression in liver (RPKM 12.9), endometrium (RPKM 10.8) and 13 other tissues."[3]

Consensus sequences

5′-GGTACACGGTGTTCT-3′[1]

5'-TGGAGAACAGCCTGTTCTCCA-3' or 5'-AGAACAGCCTGTTCT-3'[2] "Using the identified AREs within our experiment a refined extended canonical ARE model is proposed and deposited in transcription factor databases [...]."[2]

Hypotheses

  1. A1BG has no Androgen response elements in either promoter.
  2. A1BG is not transcribed by an Androgen response element.
  3. Androgen response element does not participate in the transcription of A1BG.

Androgen response element1 (Kouhpayeh) samplings

Copying a responsive elements consensus sequence GGTACA and putting the sequence in "⌘F" finds none between ZNF497 and A1BG or none between ZSCAN22 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.
