| 1. An in vitro complex of a transcription coupling factor of any one of ARNT 1 to 3 and a transcription regulatory factor
comprising any of the amino acid sequences shown below, which is a transcription activating complex that binds to a DNA region
(5′-ACGTG-3′, SEQ ID NO: 16) in competition with a transcription inhibiting complex of a Sim2 as a transcription regulatory
factor and a transcription coupling factor of any one of ARNT 1 to 3 and which promotes transcription of a gene located downstream
of the DNA region, wherein the amino acid sequences are:
(a) the amino acid sequence represented by any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 3,
(b) an amino acid sequence of a protein comprising an amino acid sequence exhibiting an amino acid identity of 90% or more
to the amino acid sequence represented by any of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 3 and regulates transcription of a gene located downstream
of a DNA region comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:16.
