| Scientific background: | NRF1 (Nuclear Respiratory Factor 1), also known as Alpha-Pal. Gopalakrishnan and Scarpulla (1995) analyzed DNA from a panel of human/hamster cell hybrids using human-specific NRF1 PCR primers and localized the NRF1 gene to human chromosome 7. The assignment was further refined to 7q31 by cohybridization of NRF1- and chromosome 7-specific probes to human metaphase chromosomes. Efiok et al. (1994) identified genes containing alpha-Pal-binding sequences and found that these could be classified either as cellular proliferation genes, or as genes regulating the growth-responsive metabolic pathways of energy transduction, translation, and replication. Virbasius and Scarpulla (1994) noted that the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial transcription factor TFAM contains potential binding sites for NRF1, NRF2 (GABPA) and SP1 within the promoter region. With use of binding and electrophoretic mobility shift assays, DNase footprinting, and mutation analysis of recombinant proteins, they demonstrated specific and functional binding of NRF1 and NRF2 to the TFAM promoter region. |
