1n accordance with the present invention, there are provided novel homeobox- type pancreatic islet transcription factor proteins useful to bind to tissue-specific elements (TSEs) within a pancreatic islet hormone gene promoter and modulate hormone gene expression both in vivo and in vitro. Nucleic acid sequences eroding such transcription factor proteins and assays employing same are also disclosed. The invention transcription factor proteins can be employed in a variety of ways, for example, to modulate RNA transcription, for production of antibodies thereto, in therapeutic compositions and methods employing such proteins and/or antibodies.

La présente invention décrit de nouvelles protéines du facteur de transcription des îlots pancréatiques, du type homéoséquence, qui sont utiles pour se fixer à des éléments tissulo-spécifiques au sein d'un promoteur du gène de l'hormone des îlots pancréatiques et moduler l'expression de ce gène à la fois in vivo et in vitro. Des séquences d'acide nucléique codant de telles protéines du facteur de transcription ainsi que des dosages les mettant en oeuvre sont également décrits. Ces protéines du facteur de transcription peuvent être utilisées de manière très variée, par exemple pour moduler la transcription de l'ARN, pour la production d'anticorps de ces protéines, dans des compositions et des procédés thérapeutiques mettant en oeuvre ces protéines et/ou anticorps.
