Refeeding starved chicks causes a 25- to 50-fold increase in the level of malic enzyme mRNA in liver. To define the regulated steps, we measured transcriptional activity of the malic enzyme gene using the nuclear run-on assay and a variety of DNA probes specific to the malic enzyme gene. Refeeding
Malic enzyme catalyzes the NADP-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of malate to pyruvate and carbon dioxide and is involved in lipogenesis. We have investigated the effect of thyroid hormone on the chromatin structure of the malic enzyme gene in rat liver. Hypersensitivity to DNase I in the
Stimulation of malic enzyme transcription by triiodothyronine (T3) is robust (> 60-fold) in chick embryo hepatocytes, weak (5-fold) in chick embryo fibroblasts that stably overexpress the nuclear T3 receptor-alpha, and still weaker (1-fold) in chick embryo fibroblasts which contain nuclear T3
In chick embryo hepatocytes in culture, insulin and triiodothyronine (T3) increase malic enzyme activity and the abundance of malic enzyme mRNA by at least 50-fold, and glucagon or cAMP blocks this effect. Steps regulated by these hormones were defined by measuring transcriptional activity with the
Vespa affinis (Asian wasp, Thai banded tiger wasp, or local name: Tor Hua Seua) causes the most frequent incidence of medically important Hymenoptera sting in South and Southeast Asia. However, data on the venom components attributable to the sting derived-clinical manifestations (local reactions,
