Abstract excerpt
Phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) promoter-luciferase reporter gene constructs (pGL3RP863, pGL3RP444, and pGL3RP392) transfected into COS1, RS1, PC12, NIH/3T3, or Neuro2A cells showed the highest basal luciferase activity in the Neuro2A cells. DNase I footprinting with Neuro2A cell nuclear extract identified protected PNMT promoter regions spanning the -168/-165 and -48/-45 base pair Sp1/Egr-1 binding...
