ABSTRACT

Egr1, an immediate early transcription factor, responds to diverse stimuli and affects gene transcription to accomplish its biological effects. One important effect of Egr1 expression is to decrease the growth and tumorigenic potential of several tumor cell types. To identify important Egr1 target genes, we have adapted a methodology involving formaldehyde-induced protein-DNA cross-linking, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and multiplex PCR. Using this approach, we report the cloning of a new Egr1 target gene that is able to account, at least in part, for the growth inhibitory activity of Egr1. We have named this new protein TOE1 fortarget of E gr1.
