High impact information on MYL1

  • These results show that CMD1 and c-myogenin act on the MLC1 gene by recognizing different upstream DNA sequences and that direct or indirect interactions between the regions outside the basic helix-loop-helix domain and flanking sequences of E boxes are involved in the target sequence specificity [1].
  • Transcriptional control of the cardiac/slow skeletal alkali myosin light-chain (MLC1c/1s) gene is mediated, in part, by two highly conserved AT-rich cis-acting elements present in the immediate 5' flanking region [2].
  • Identification of the functional promoter regions in the human gene encoding the myosin alkali light chains MLC1 and MLC3 of fast skeletal muscle [3].
  • Approximately 120 nucleotides of the MLC1 promoter and 80 nucleotides of the MLC3 promoter were sufficient for the transcriptional activation in primary myotubes and to a lower degree also in fibroblasts and hepatocytes [3].
  • The preferential expression in muscle cells was not dependent on the conserved MLC consensus sequence, CCTTTTATAG, but it absolutely required the CCAT box or the CAT-like box in the MLC1 and MLC3 promoters, respectively [3].
 

Biological context of MYL1

  • Based on the cDNA sequence, oligonucleotide primers were designed to amplify genomic DNA from six of the seven introns of the MYL1 gene [4].
  • MYL1 is assigned to a turkey linkage group that corresponds to a region of chicken chromosome 7 (GGA7) [4].
  • These studies suggest that retardation of myosin light chain-1f accumulation inhibits or delays myofibrillogenesis [5].
 

Anatomical context of MYL1

  • One sequence corresponded to an alternative transcript, the skeletal muscle essential light chain (MYL1 isoform 1) and a second to the smooth muscle isoform of myosin light chain (MYL6) [4].
