USF1
Upstream stimulatory factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''USF1'' gene. Gene The upstream stimulatory factor gene encodes a transcription factor USF that belongs to the proto-oncogene MYC family and is featured by a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLH-LZ) motif in the protein structure. USF was originally identified to regulate the major late promoters of adenovirus, and recent research has further revealed its role in tissue protection. The bHLH-LZ motif enables the transactivation capacity of the USF protein through interacting with the Initiator element (Inr) and E-box motif on the bound DNA. In the context of insulin and glucose-induced USF activities, those E-box motifs can act as a glucose-responsive element (GRE) and a part of the carbohydrate response element (ChoRE) to interact with transcription factors. Isoforms USF comprises two major isoforms: USF1 and USF2. ''USF1'' gene locates on the chromosome region 1q22-q23 in both human an ...
