| Abstract | Carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP) and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) are transcription factors that are known to be key regulators of glucose metabolism and lipid synthesis in mammals. Since ChREBP and its co-activator Max-like protein X (Mlx) have not been identified in birds, the objectives of this work were to clone, sequence, and characterize the genomic organization of ChREBP and Mlx genes and to determine the expression of ChREBP, Mlx, and several related genes including liver X receptor (LXR), SREBP-1 and thyroid hormone responsive Spot 14 (Spot 14) in chickens. Alternative splicing resulted in two ChREBP mRNA transcript variants that code for predicted proteins of 895 and 869 amino acids. The chicken Mlx gene produced a single mRNA transcript that codes for a predicted protein of 245 amino acids. Chicken ChREBP and Mlx predicted proteins shared high amino acid homology with select portions of corresponding mammalian proteins. In chickens, Mlx, SREBP-1, and LXR were expressed at comparable levels in all tissues examined. However, ChREBP demonstrated significant tissue-specific expression with the highest mRNA levels found in liver and duodenum and Spot 14 was expressed predominantly in liver and abdominal fat. Using Western blotting, the presence of ChREBP protein was detected in chicken liver tissue. Our findings add new insight into a potential role for specific transcription factors such as ChREBP and Mlx in the glucose-dependent regulation of lipogenesis in birds. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
