Role of a STAT Binding Site in the Regulation of the Human Perforin Promoter
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
The pore-forming protein perforin is preferentially expressed in NK and cytotoxic T cells. To investigate the molecular regulation of human perforin gene transcription, the activity of the human perforin promoter was analyzed in human NK and T cell lines using various promoter fragments linked to a luciferase reporter gene. A core promoter was identified within 55 bp upstream of the transcription start site. This...
