Disclosed is a 178 kDa glucose-inducible human fatty acid synthase (FAS) mRNA binding protein which has been purified to homogeneity and its binding element characterized. This large phosphoprotein binds to a novel repetitive element in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of the FAS mRNA. In particular, the binding has been mapped to a 37 nucleotide stretch within the first 65 bases of the 3' UTR of mRNA. The binding protein is useful for mediating FAS expression, for regulating lipoprotein secretion and cell growth and for screening of test compounds for activity as inhibitors of FAS.

Se divulga una proteína obligatoria del ácido graso del kDa 178 del mRNA humano glucosa-glucose-inducible del synthase (FAS) que se ha purificado a la homogeneidad y a su elemento obligatorio caracterizados. Este phosphoprotein grande ata a un elemento repetidor de la novela en la región sin traducir 3' (UTR) FAS del mRNA. En detalle, el atascamiento traz a un estiramiento de 37 nucleotide dentro de las primeras 65 bases del 3' UTR del mRNA. La proteína obligatoria es útil para mediar FAS crecimiento de la célula de la expresión, porque de la regulación secreción de la lipoproteína y y para la investigación de los compuestos de la prueba para la actividad como inhibidores de FAS.
