Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of mouse and human phenobarbital-responsive enhancer module by nuclear receptors.
Janne Mäkinen,Christian Frank,Johanna Jyrkkärinne,Jukka Gynther,Carsten Carlberg,Paavo Honkakoski +5 more
TL;DR: These results provide new mechanistic explanations to several previously unresolved aspects of CYP2B and CYP3A gene regulation and show that mouse and human PBREM are efficiently 'insulated' from the effects of other nuclear receptors despite their substantial affinity for DR4 motifs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amino acids important for ligand specificity of the human constitutive androstane receptor.
Johanna Jyrkkärinne,Björn Windshügel,Janne Mäkinen,Markku Ylisirniö,Mikael Peräkylä,Antti Poso,Wolfgang Sippl,Paavo Honkakoski +7 more
TL;DR: These studies identified several amino acids within helices 3 (Ile164 and Asn165), 5 (Val199), 11 (Tyr326, Ile330, and Gln331), and 12 (Leu343 and Ile346) that contribute to the high basal activity of human CAR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual action of oestrogens on the mouse constitutive androstane receptor.
Janne Mäkinen,Mika Reinisalo,Kaisa Niemi,Pirkko Viitala,Johanna Jyrkkärinne,Hinfan Chung,Olavi Pelkonen,Paavo Honkakoski +7 more
TL;DR: Yeast two-hybrid assays indicated that, unlike androstenol and the established activators, oestrogens attracted both nuclear receptor co-repressors and co-activators to the mCAR ligand-binding domain, thus limiting the extent of mCAR activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular determinants of steroid inhibition for the mouse constitutive androstane receptor.
Johanna Jyrkkärinne,Janne Mäkinen,Jukka Gynther,Heidi Savolainen,and Antti Poso,Paavo Honkakoski +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of chimeric and mutant mCAR constructs suggested that androstenol sensitivity is controlled by residues between amino acids 201-263 (helices 5-7) and it does not depend on the residue 350 within helix 12, as previously suggested.
Book ChapterDOI
Fluorogenic RNA aptamers to probe transcription initiation and co-transcriptional RNA folding by multi-subunit RNA polymerases.
Yongheng Huang,Vilma Trapp,Oskari Puro,Janne Mäkinen,Mikko Metsä-Ketelä,Markus C. Wahl,Georgiy A. Belogurov +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , two methods that utilize fluorescent light-up RNA aptamers (FLAPs), the RNA mimics of green fluorescent proteins, to monitoring transcription and co-transcriptional RNA folding are presented.
