DBP (gene)
D site of albumin promoter (albumin D-box) binding protein, also known as DBP, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ''DBP'' gene. DBP is a member of the PAR bZIP (Proline and Acidic amino acid-Rich basic leucine ZIPper) transcription factor family. DBP binds to an upstream promoter in the insulin gene. DBP was shown to follow a stringent circadian rhythm; both the levels of protein and mRNA are almost non-detectable in the morning, but reach their maximum level in the evening. Discovery of circadian rhythm of expression The circadian rhythm of the expression of DBP was discovered by chance in the laboratory of Ueli Schibler at the University of Geneva in 1990. A canadian postdoc working in the lab, Chris Mueller, had identified the DBP transcription factor. However, when a new PhD student in the lab, Jérôme Wuarin, took over the project on DBP, he failed to observe any expression of the protein, and initially thought that the original experiment was flawed.
