acts together with hnRNP-K to repress the transcriptional activity of the CD43 gene promoter during lymphocyte activation | hnRNP-K and Pur(alpha) act together to repress the transcriptional activity of the CD43 gene promoter. Da Silva N, Bharti A, Shelley CS. | 01/21/2010 |
Puralpha has been shown to colocalize with cyclin A/Cdk2 and to coimmunoprecipitate with cyclin A during S-phase and we show that this interaction is mediated by a specific affinity of Puralpha for Cdk2. | Functional interaction of Puralpha with the Cdk2 moiety of cyclin A/Cdk2.

results show that PUR proteins are capable of binding to alpha-MHC mRNA and attenuate its translational efficiency; also show robust expression of PUR proteins in failing hearts where alpha-MHC mRNA levels are suppressed | Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins PURalpha and PURbeta bind to a purine-rich negative regulatory element of the alpha-myosin heavy chain gene and control transcriptional and translational regulation of the gene expression.
