Abstract
Chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factors (COUP-TFs) are nuclear receptors belonging to the superfamily of the steroid/thyroid hormone receptors. Members of this family are internalized to the nucleus both in a ligand-dependent or -independent manner and act as strong transcriptional regulators by binding to the DNA of their target genes. COUP-TFs are defined as orphan receptors, since ligands regulating their activity have not so far been identified. From the very beginning of metazoan evolution, these molecules have been involved in various key events during embryonic development and organogenesis. In this review, we will mainly focus on their function during development and maturation of the central nervous system, which has been well characterized in various animal classes ranging from ctenophores to mammals. We will start by introducing the current knowledge on COUP-TF mechanisms of action and then focus our discussion on the crucial processes underlying forebrain ontogenesis, with special emphasis on mammalian development. Finally, the conserved roles of COUP-TFs along phylogenesis will be highlighted, and some hypotheses, worth exploring in future years to gain more insight into the mechanisms controlled by these factors, will be proposed.

Abstract
Autosomal Dominant Hypercholesterolemia (ADH) is caused by LDLR and APOB mutations. However, genetically diagnosed ADH patients do not always exhibit the expected hypercholesterolemic phenotype. Of 4,669 genetically diagnosed ADH patients, identified through the national identification screening program for ADH, 75 patients (1.6%) had LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels below the 50th percentile for age and gender prior to lipid-lowering therapy. The genes encoding APOB, PCSK9, and ANGPTL3 were sequenced in these subjects to address whether monogenic dominant loss-of-function mutations underlie this paradoxical phenotype. APOB mutations, resulting in truncated APOB, were found in five (6.7%) probands, reducing LDL-C by 56%. Rare variants in PCSK9, and ANGPTL3 completely correcting the hypercholesterolemic phenotype were not found. The common variants p.N902N, c.3842+82T>A, p.D2312D, and p.E4181K in APOB, and c.1863+94A>G in PCSK9 were significantly more prevalent in our cohort compared to the general European population. Interestingly, 40% of our probands carried at least one minor allele for all four common APOB variants compared to 1.5% in the general European population. While we found a low prevalence of rare variants in our cohort, our data suggest that regions in proximity of the analyzed loci, and linked to specific common haplotypes, might harbor additional variants that correct an ADH phenotype.

Abstract
Mouse alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (Adh1) gene expression occurs at high levels in liver and adrenal, moderate levels in kidney and intestine, low levels in a number of other tissues, and is undetectable in thymus, spleen and brain by Northern analysis. In transgenic mice, a minigene construct containing 10 kb of upstream and 1.5 kb of downstream flanking sequence directs expression in kidney, adrenal, lung, epididymis, ovary and skin but promotes ectopic expression in thymus and spleen while failing to control expression in liver, eye, intestine and seminal vesicle. Cosmids containing either 7 kb of upstream and 21 kb of downstream or 12 kb of upstream and 23 kb of downstream sequence flanking genetically marked Adh1 additionally promotes seminal vesicle expression suggesting downstream or intragenic sequence controls expression in this tissue. However, expression in liver, adrenal, or intestine is not promoted. The Adh1(a) allele on the cosmid expresses an enzyme electrophoretically distinct from that of the endogenous Adh1(b) allele, and presence of the heterodimeric enzyme in expressing tissues confirms that transgene activity occurs in the same cell-type as the endogenous gene. Transgene expression levels promoted by cosmids were at physiologically relevant amounts and exhibited greater copy-number dependence than observed with minigenes. Transgene mRNA expression correlated with expression measured at the enzyme level. A bacterial artificial chromosome containing 110 kb of 5'- and 104 kb of 3'-flanking sequence surrounding the Adh1 gene promoted expression in tissues at levels comparable to the endogenous gene most importantly including liver, adrenal and intestinal tissue where high level Adh1 expression occurs. Transgene expression in liver was in the same cell types as promoted by the endogenous gene. Although proximal elements extending 12 kb upstream and 23 kb downstream of the Adh1 gene promote expression at physiologically relevant levels in most tissues, more distal elements are additionally required to promote normal expression levels in liver, adrenal and intestinal tissue where Adh1 is most highly expressed.

Abstract
Recently, we identified a 315-bp intestinal enhancer (IE), localized over 55 kb upstream from the transcriptional start of the human apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene, that confers expression of human apoB transgenes in the intestines of mice. Four functional binding sites for the intestine-enriched transcription factors hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-3beta, CAAT enhancer binding protein (C/EBP)beta, and HNF-4 were demonstrated within the 315-bp IE. In this report, we extend these earlier studies and examine the relative contributions of these three transcription factors to the activity of the enhancer as well as their mechanism of interaction with one another. Cotransfection experiments with the expression vectors for HNF-3beta, C/EBPbeta, and HNF-4 revealed that HNF-3beta bound to Site 1, C/EBPbeta bound to Site 2, and HNF-4 bound to Site 3 within the 315-bp IE and that the sites act synergistically to enhance intestinal expression of apoB. Each one of these four binding sites was mutated, and mutant constructs were transfected into intestine-derived CaCo-2 cells to evaluate the role of each of these binding sites in enhancer activity. The results of the mutagenesis experiments confirmed that the HNF-3beta and HNF-4 sites are most important for the enhancer activity, followed by C/EBPbeta Site 2. All three factors bound to Sites 1, 2, and 3 must act synergistically for optimal activity of the apoB IE.

Abstract
A number of DNaseI-hypersensitive (DH) sites have been mapped within a regulatory region situated upstream of the human apolipoprotein B (apoB) promoter (-5262 to -899) that is required for high level expression of human apoB transgenes in the livers of mice. These DH sites were observed in nuclei from transcriptionally active liver-derived HepG2 cells, but were absent from transcriptionally inactive HeLa cell nuclei. Several nuclear protein binding sites were detected in the DNaseI-hypersensitive region by DNaseI footprinting with HepG2 nuclear extracts, representing putative binding sites for the liver-specific activators. The locations of binding sites for these transcription factors were revealed via computer analysis of the DNA sequence of this region against a transcription factor database. Many micrococcal nuclease hypersensitive (MH) sites were also observed in nuclei from HepG2 cells but not in HeLa cell nuclei, implying that in hepatic cells, nucleosomes are either absent or have been displaced from this region by the liver-specific transcriptional activators, as inferred by the correspondence between the DH sites, the MH sites and the footprints.

Abstract
We recently reported that an 8-kilobase (kb) region, spanning from -54 to -62 kb 5' of the human apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene, contains intestine-specific regulatory elements that control apoB expression in the intestines of transgenic mice. In this study, we further localized the apoB intestinal control region to a 3-kb segment (-54 to -57 kb). DNaseI hypersensitivity studies uncovered a prominent DNaseI hypersensitivity site, located within a 315-base pair (bp) fragment at the 5'-end of the 3-kb segment, in transcriptionally active CaCo-2 cells but not in transcriptionally inactive HeLa cells. Transient transfection experiments with CaCo-2 and HepG2 cells indicated that the 315-bp fragment contained an intestine-specific enhancer, and analysis of the DNA sequence revealed putative binding sites for the tissue-specific transcription factors hepatocyte nuclear factor 3beta, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4, and CAAT enhancer-binding protein beta. Binding of these factors to the 315-bp enhancer was demonstrated in gel retardation experiments. Transfection of deletion mutants of the 315-bp enhancer revealed the relative contributions of these transcription factors in the activity of the apoB intestinal enhancer. The corresponding segment of the mouse apoB gene (located -40 to -83 kb 5' of the structural gene) exhibited a high degree of sequence conservation in the binding sites for the key transcriptional activators and also exhibited enhancer activity in transient transfection assays with CaCo-2 cells. In transgenic mouse expression studies, the 315-bp enhancer conferred intestinal expression to human apoB transgenes.

Abstract
To date, the molecular mechanisms that govern hepatic-specific transcription of the human cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) gene are poorly understood. We recently reported that the region extending from -1888 to +46, which includes the promoter, is not capable of conferring expression to human CYP7A1 promoter lacZ transgenes in the livers of mice, but that expression is observed with transgenes containing the entire structural gene. To locate liver-specific elements in other segments of the human gene, DNase I hypersensitivity studies were performed with transcriptionally active, liver-derived HepG2 cells and with transcriptionally inactive HeLa cells. Three DNase I hypersensitivity sites were detected within the first intron of the human CYP7A1 gene, but only in HepG2 cells. Transient transfection experiments with HepG2 cells revealed a transcriptional repressor within intron 1. Five binding sites for the CAAT displacement protein (CDP) were detected within intron 1. Since CDP is a nuclear matrix protein, two methods were employed to localize nuclear matrix attachment sites within intron 1 of the human CYP7A1 gene. A matrix attachment site was found throughout the entirety of intron 1. Gel retardation experiments and cell transfection studies provided evidence for the repression mechanism. Repression is achieved by displacement by CDP of two hepatic activators, namely HNF-1alpha and C/EBPalpha, that bind to three different sites within intron 1. Additionally, CDP represses transactivation mediated by these two activators.

Abstract
Expression of adenine nucleotide translocator isoform 2 (ANT2) is growth regulated. In the present study, we report the presence of a silencer region in the human ANT2 promoter and the purification of a two-component factor that recognizes a specific hexanucleotide element, GTCCTG, of the silencer. Transfection of deletion constructs shows that ANT2 silencer activity extends over a region of at least 310 nts. However, mutating the GTCCTG element completely relieves silencing activity in the context of the human ANT2 promoter. The data suggest that the GTCCTG element might be required for maintaining silencer activity of the extended silencer region. The ANT2 silencer region cloned in front of the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase promoter confers nearly complete inhibition to the heterologous promoter. However, unlike the ANT2 promoter, mutating the GTCCTG element restores only partial activity to the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase promoter. A protein complex consisting of two major polypeptides of 37 and 49 kDa was isolated from HeLa nuclear extracts by affinity chromatography using the GTCCTG element as the affinity resin. Cross-linking studies and Southwestern analysis indicate that p37 binds DNA. p49 appears to be loosely associated with the p37/DNA complex but is necessary for strong binding of p37. Our data implicating the GTCCTG element directly in silencing of the ANT2 promoter, together with data from the literature reporting the presence of this element within the silencer region of several additional promoters, suggest a general role of the GTCCTG element in transcriptional silencing.

Abstract
Prior studies have established that the expression of the human apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene in the intestine is dependent on DNA sequences located a great distance from the structural gene. To identify the location of those sequences, we used recA-assisted restriction endonuclease (RARE) cleavage to truncate the 5'- or 3'-flanking sequences from a 145-kilobase (kb) bacterial artificial chromosome spanning the entire human apoB gene. Seven RARE cleavage- modified bacterial artificial chromosomes with different lengths of flanking sequences were used to generate transgenic mice. An analysis of those mice revealed that as little as 1.5 kb of 3' sequences or 5 kb of 5' sequences were sufficient to confer apoB expression in the liver. In contrast, apoB gene expression in the intestine required DNA sequences 54-62 kb 5' to the structural gene. Those sequences retained their ability to direct apoB expression in the intestine when they were moved closer to the gene. These studies demonstrate that the intestinal expression of the apoB gene is dependent on DNA sequences located an extraordinary distance from the structural gene and that the RARE cleavage/transgenic expression strategy is a powerful approach for analyzing distant gene-regulatory sequences.

Abstract
Chylomicrons are lipoproteins synthesized exclusively by the intestine to transport dietary fat and fat-soluble vitamins. Synthesis of apoB48, a translational product of the apob gene, is required for the assembly of chylomicrons. The apob gene transcription in the intestine results in 14 and 7 kb mRNAs. These mRNAs are post-transcriptionally edited creating a stop codon. The edited mRNAs chylomicrons from the shorter apoB48 peptide remains to be elucidated. In addition, the roles of proteins involved in the assembly pathway, e.g. apobec-1, MTP and apoA-IV, needs to be studied. Cloning of enzymes involved in the intestinal biosynthesis of triglycerides will be crucial to fully appreciate the assembly of chylomicrons. There is a need for cell culture and transgenic animal models that can be used for intestinal lipoprotein assembly. The catabolism of chylomicrons is far more complex and efficient than the catabolism of VLDL. Even though the major steps involved in the catabolism of chylomicrons are now known, the determinants for apolipoprotein exchange, processing of remnants in the space of Disse, as well as the mechanism of uptake of these particles by extra-hepatic tissue needs further exploration.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) is the major protein component of low density lipoproteins, and plays a central role in cholesterol transport and metabolism. The apoB gene is transcribed in the liver and in the intestine in humans. Although much is known about the DNA sequence elements and protein factors that are important for transcription of the human apolipoprotein B gene in the liver, less is known about the mechanisms that control transcription of this gene in the intestine. The sucrose isomaltase gene (SI), is expressed exclusively in the intestine. Two sequences from the promoter region of the SI gene, namely SIF-1 and SIF-3, are essential for promoter activity of the SI gene in intestinal cells. Sequences displaying a high degree of similarity to those of SIF-1 and SIF-3 are present in the third intron of the apoB gene. Rather than stimulating apoB promoter activity, the BSIF-1 and BSIF-3 sequences repressed transcription in CaCo-2 cells. Gel retardation studies demonstrated that BSIF-1, like SIF-1, binds to proteins related to the caudal family of proteins such as mCdx-4 and mCdx-2. These proteins appear to repress transcription from the apoB promoter by a mechanism that involves an interaction with members of the C/EBP family of proteins, that bind to a target sequence for the repressor in the segment from -139 to -111 of the apoB promoter. On the other hand, BSIF-3, like SIF-3, binds to HNF-1 and also represses transcription from the apoB promoter.
