CA 2380865

The present invention is directed to a novel Afx response element comprising the nucleotide sequence AACATGTT, said nucleotide sequence having a DNA binding site for the human fork head transkription factor Afx. The invention also relates to the use of the Afx response element in the screening for genes as diabetes drug targets and in the bioinformatic analysis of the human genome, said genes in turn being useful in other screening methods for compouds modifying the insulin receptor signaling pathway. A further aspect of the invention is a vector construct comprising the novel nucleotide sequence, a host cell transformed with said vector construct as well as the fusion protein expressed by said host cell.

La présente invention concerne un nouvel élément de réponse à l'Afx comprenant la séquence nucléotidique AACATGTT présentant un site de liaison d'ADN pour le facteur de transcription humain à tête fourchue Afx. L'invention concerne également l'utilisation de l'élément de réponse à l'Afx dans le criblage de gènes comme cibles médicamenteuses du diabète ainsi que dans l'analyse bioinformatique du génome humain, lesdits gènes s'avérant utiles, à terme, dans d'autres procédés de criblage afin de modifier la voie de signalisation du récepteur de l'insuline. L'invention concerne en outre des constructions de vecteurs comprenant la nouvelle séquence nucléotidique, une cellule hôte transformée au moyen de ladite construction de vecteur ainsi que la protéine de fusion exprimée par ladite cellule.
