It was discovered in 2000 as one of two improved mutants by H. Bujard and his colleagues after random mutagenesis of the Tet repressor part of the transactivator gene. [6] Tet-On 3G (also known as rtTA-V10 [7]) is similar to Tet-On Advanced but was derived from rtTA2 S-S2 rather than rtTA2 S-M2. It is also human codon optimized and composed of ...
CIITA is a human gene which encodes a protein called the class II, major histocompatibility complex, transactivator. [5] Mutations in this gene are responsible for the bare lymphocyte syndrome in which the immune system is severely compromised and cannot effectively fight infection . [ 5 ]
The transactivator gene expresses a transcription factor that binds to specific promoter region of DNA. By binding to the promoter region of a gene, the transcription factor causes that gene to be expressed. The expression of one transactivator gene can activate multiple genes, as long as they have the same, specific promoter region attached.
Thus TET enzymes largely initiate demethylation at 5mCpG sites. Oxoguanine glycosylase (OGG1) is one example of a protein that recruits a TET enzyme. TET1 is able to act on 5mCpG if an ROS has first acted on the guanine to form 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG or its tautomer 8-oxo-dG), resulting in a 5mCp-8-OHdG dinucleotide (see Figure). [10]

The transactivation domain or trans-activating domain (TAD) is a transcription factor scaffold domain which contains binding sites for other proteins such as transcription coregulators.
Ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 1 (TET1) is a member of the TET family of enzymes, in humans it is encoded by the TET1 gene.Its function, regulation, and utilizable pathways remain a matter of current research while it seems to be involved in DNA demethylation and therefore gene regulation, [5] [6] but is expressed as different isoforms which may have distinct functions.
[2] [3] Binding of the activator-coactivator complex increases the speed of transcription by recruiting general transcription machinery to the promoter, therefore increasing gene expression. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The use of activators and coactivators allows for highly specific expression of certain genes depending on cell type and developmental stage.
