Analysis of the Promoter Region of Human Dopamine Receptor D1

Dysregulation of dopamine receptor D1 ( DRD1 ) is involved in multiple neuropsychiatric disorders. The 5′ regulatory region of DRD1 has not been characterized fully. We applied the luciferase assay and the electrophoretic mobility shift assay to explore the activity of the 5′ regulatory region of DR...

Description
Summary:Dysregulation of dopamine receptor D1 ( DRD1 ) is involved in multiple neuropsychiatric disorders. The 5′ regulatory region of DRD1 has not been characterized fully. We applied the luciferase assay and the electrophoretic mobility shift assay to explore the activity of the 5′ regulatory region of DRD1 in SH-SY5Y and 293T cells. We found that the promoter region of DRD1 corresponded to positions − 1250 to + 250 in the DNA sequence, and the putative core promoter region was from − 113 to + 250 (transcriptional start site of exon, +1). The sequence 5′-gggacgcgcgggcggggtgggctgtgccccgcgggaaccccgccggcctgtgcgcttgctg-3′ was identified as a possible transcription factor–binding domain. Further research is warranted to explore the function of the 5′ regulatory region of DRD1 .
