Abstract

We have reviewed the transcriptional regulation of the CYP1A1 gene, which encodes the cytochrome P450IA1 enzyme. TCDD induces CYP1A1 transcription via a receptor- and enhancer-dependent mechanism that involves multiple protein-DNA interactions. The system provides an example of enzyme regulation at the level of gene transcription.
