GENES FOR MEMBERS OF THE GATA-BINDING PROTEIN FAMILY (GATA-GT1 AND GATA-GT2) TOGETHER WITH H-ATPASE ARE SPECIFICALLY TRANSCRIBED IN GASTRICPARIETAL-CELLS(K+)
S. Mushiake et al., GENES FOR MEMBERS OF THE GATA-BINDING PROTEIN FAMILY (GATA-GT1 AND GATA-GT2) TOGETHER WITH H-ATPASE ARE SPECIFICALLY TRANSCRIBED IN GASTRICPARIETAL-CELLS(K+), FEBS letters, 340(1-2), 1994, pp. 117-120
mRNAs for novel DNA-binding proteins (GATA-GT1 and GATA-GT2) reconizin
g the (G/C)PuPu(G/C)NGAT(A/T)PuPy sequence and H+/K+-ATPase (proton pu
mp) alpha subunit were detected in parietal cells of the rat gastric b
ody mucosa by in situ hybridization. These results suggest that GATA-G
T1 and GATA-GT2 together with H+/K+-ATPase are transcribed specificall
y in gastric parietal cells and that the two DNA-binding proteins may
have important roles in cell specific gene regulation. Furthermore, we
could detect parietal cells in different states of gene expression.
