Disease relevance of Arnt

 

High impact information on Arnt

  • Both cDNAs contain the binding site sequence for the dioxin/nuclear translocator responsive element (Ah/Arnt-receptor) in conjunction with a barbiturate recognition sequence (Barbie box) [3].
  • Gel shift analysis with radiolabeled XRE and specific peptide antibodies toward AhR and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator protein (Arnt) revealed an OME-mediated translocation of the AhR.Arnt complex into the nuclei [4].
  • ARNT binds to the side of the xenobiotic responsive element (XRE) that resembles an E-box (the sequence recognized by the majority of other basic helix-loop-helix proteins), whereas AHR binds to the side of the XRE that does not conform to the E-box sequence [5].
  • Purification of the DNA binding form of dioxin receptor. Role of the Arnt cofactor in regulation of dioxin receptor function [1].
  • Importantly, simultaneous expression of the receptor and Arnt resulted in synergistic induction of gene expression in vivo [1].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Arnt

  • To determine if ARNT plays a role in regulating ALDH3 in response to low oxygen tension, we studied the effects of 1% oxygen and the hypoxia mimic cobalt chloride on constitutive and inducible ALDH3 expression in rat hepatoma cells and rat corneal epithelial cells [2].
 

Biological context of Arnt

  • On the other hand, bacterially expressed AhR-Arnt heterodimer could not bind to the enhancer [6].
  • This preliminary report is the first study to suggest that the PAS proteins, AhR and Arnt, exhibit a daily oscillation pattern within multiple target tissues which may give insight into the tissue-specific toxic and biochemical responses mediated through this dimerization pair, as well as the physiological function of these proteins [7].
  • The AhR-Arnt heterodimer binds to the dioxin response element (DRE) to regulate target gene expression [8].
  • AhR and ARNT protein concentrations in fetal urogenital sinus on Gestation Days (GD) 16, 18, and 20 were similar to levels in ventral prostate on PND 7 [9].
  • These data demonstrate that Arnt plays a central role in control of dioxin receptor function by cooperatively modulating the DNA binding activity of the receptor in vitro and dioxin-dependent transactivation in vivo [1].
 

Anatomical context of Arnt

 

Associations of Arnt with chemical compounds

  • Transfectants of the point-mutated ARE-like motif showed marginally reduced response to tBHQ, but surprisingly, loss of response to TCDD, suggesting interference of flanking proteins with the AhR/Arnt complex [13].
  • The dioxin receptor and its nuclear translocator (Arnt) in the rat brain [10].
  • The interaction mechanism between dopaminergic receptor subtypes seems to be similar to that of other normosensitive models of turning previously studied (Barone et al., 1986; Robertson and Robertson, 1986; Arnt and Perregard, 1987; Asim et al., 1990; Pazo et al., 1993) [14].
  • The Class 3 aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (ALDH3) is expressed differentially in a tissue-specific manner, occurring constitutively in some tissues and in others as a result of xenobiotic induction via the Ah receptor/ARNT pathway [2].
  • In addition to interaction with environmental pollutants, several transcription factors, steroid receptors, and growth factors are capable interacting with the AHR/ARNT complex, which suggests a constitutive role for the receptor complex [15].
 

Co-localisations of Arnt

  • There was no neuroanatomic evidence that AhR is preferentially colocalized with ARNT or ARNT2 [16].
 

Regulatory relationships of Arnt

  • The results suggest that differential expression of both AhR and ARNT are responsible for rat strain-specific differences in TCDD induced CYP1A1 expression [17].
