High impact information on Rbp2

  • Driven by the suprabasal-specific keratin-10 gene promoter, expression of dnRXR alpha severely reduced the ability of RAR-selective ligands tRA and CD367 to induce epidermal mRNA levels of the CRABPII, CRBPI, and CRBPII genes, which contain RA-responsive elements (RAREs) DR1 and/or DR2 [1].
  • Using the mouse CRBPII promoter as a reporter gene, we now report that the AB regions of RAR alpha, beta and gamma, as well as those of RXR alpha and gamma, contain an autonomous, ligand-independent activation function, AF-1, which can efficiently synergize with AF-2s [2].
  • Cellular retinol-binding protein II (CRBP II) is a member of the cellular retinol-binding protein family, which is expressed primarily in the small intestine [3].
  • The saturable component of intestinal retinol uptake is impaired in CRBP II(-/-) mice [3].
  • Maternal CRBP II was localized by immunostaining in the placenta at 18 days postcoitum as well as in the small intestine [3].
 

Biological context of Rbp2

  • We show here that the element which was previously characterized as a retinoid X receptor (RXR)-specific response element (RXRE) in the rat cellular retinol-binding protein II (CRBPII) gene is not conserved in the mouse gene [4].
  • However, two conserved cis-acting elements (RE2 and RE3) located in the promoter region of the mouse and rat CRBPII genes mediate transactivation by retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and RXRs in transfected Cos-1, CV-1, and HeLa cells [4].
  • Expression of the cellular retinoic acid binding protein I (CRABPI) is restricted during development in Kölliker's organ whilst cellular retinol binding protein II (CRBPII) is only visible after birth with a ubiquitous distribution in most regions of the cochlea including nervous components [5].
  • Transient transfection assays performed in NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells demonstrated that RXR alpha yielded a high level of 9cRA-dependent transcription of a reporter gene linked to the CRBP II enhancer, when compared with RXR beta [6].
  • However, reducing maternal dietary vitamin A to marginal levels during the latter half of gestation results in 100% mortality/litter within 24 h after birth in the CRBP II(-/-) line but no mortality in the wild type line [3].
