Abstract
Our current knowledge of the mechanisms by which steroid hormones regulate transcription has been derived primarily from the analysis of defined gene products in a few well-characterized steroid-responsive systems. One such model system is the chicken oviduct, which synthesizes egg white proteins in response to a variety of steroid hormones (reviewed in Palmiter, 1975; Schimke et al., 1975; O’Malley et al., 1979). The hormonal regulation of ovalbumin, the major egg white protein, has been extensively studied, since steroid hormones induce the synthesis of this protein by stimulating the transcription of the ovalbumin gene in oviduct chromatin. A complete understanding of the mechanisms by which steroid hormones modulate gene expression in this system, therefore, requires a description of the chromatin environment of the ovalbumin gene during the hormone induction process.
