Transcriptional regulation of phospholipase C-gamma 1 gene during muscle differentiation
1Department of Life Science, Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea.
Abstract:
Phospholipase C (PLC) has been known to be a key effector protein in signal transduction pathway for cell proliferation and differentiation. Here, we report the transcriptional regulation of PLC-gamma 1 during myogenic differentiation. Both PLC-gamma 1 mRNA and protein levels were increased during myogenesis. The activity of PLC-gamma 1 was also comparable to the amount estimated by Western blot. Comparing promoter activities of various PLC-gamma 1 gene upstream regions in myoblast and myotube, the responsible region was mapped between -551 and -480. From these results, we conclude that the transcription of PLC-gamma 1 is increased by the control of GPE1 region of PLC-gamma 1 gene during myogenesis.

Transcription
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase. It is the first step in producing a protein from a gene sequence. Additionally, many other proteins and regulatory sequences are involved in the proper synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of transcription is responsible for the differentiation of all the different types of cells and often for the proper cellular response to environmental signals.
