An acute phase response factor/NF-kappa B site downstream of the junB gene that mediates responsiveness to interleukin-6 in a murine plasmacytoma.

The immediate early gene, junB, is induced by interleukin-6 (IL-6) in plasmacytomas. In order to identify enhancers that mediate this effect, we cloned upstream and downstream sequences flanking the gene into a luciferase reporter gene vector containing the junB promoter and evaluated the IL-6 inducibility of these sequences by transient expression in an IL-6-dependent plasmacytoma cell line. Although a 6.

Production of delta-aminolevulinic acid: characterization of murine liver 4,5-dioxovaleric acid: L-alanine aminotransferase.

1. We report on the kinetic properties of murine liver 4,5-dioxovaleric acid:L-alanine aminotransferase (DOVA transaminase). 2.

Production of delta-aminolevulinate: subcellular localization and purification of murine hepatic L-alanine: 4,5-dioxovaleric acid aminotransferase.

1. L-Alanine: 4,5-dioxovaleric acid aminotransferase (DOVA transaminase) activity was measured in murine liver, kidney and spleen homogenates. 2.
