Human B1F was cloned from a human liver cDNA library by yeast one-hybrid screening and characterized. It is a transcription factor which belongs to nuclear receptor superfamily. The cDNA segment 450-930 of human liver transcription factor hB1F was cloned into the pGEX-3X expression vector and was expressed in E.coli. The purified GST-fused hB1F, named GST-CS, were used to immunize mice to get polyclonal antibodies to hB1F. The antiserum showed specificity to hB1F after the purification by GST-Sepharose 4B. It can be used in further investigations of the structure and function of hB1F.

Astrocyte to neuron reprogramming has been performed using viral delivery of neurogenic transcription factors in GFAP expressing cells. Recent reports of off-target expression in cortical neurons following adeno-associated virus (AAV) transduction to deliver the neurogenic factors have confounded our understanding of the efficacy of direct cellular reprogramming. To shed light on potential mechanisms that may underlie the neuronal off-target expression of GFAP promoter driven expression of neurogenic factors in neurons, two regionally distinct cortices were compared-the motor cortex (MC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)-and investigated: (1) the regional tropism and astrocyte transduction with an AAV5-GFAP vector, (2) the expression of Gfap in MC and mPFC neurons; and (3) material transfer between astrocytes and neurons.

The Auxin Response Factors (ARFs) family of transcription factors are the central mediators of auxin-triggered transcriptional regulation. Functionally different classes of extant ARFs operate as antagonistic auxin-dependent and -independent regulators. While part of the evolutionary trajectory to the present auxin response functions has been reconstructed, it is unclear how ARFs emerged, and how early diversification led to functionally different proteins.
