Differential activation of the SMalphaA promoter in smooth vs. skeletal muscle cells by bHLH factors.

The American journal of physiology - 1 Jun 1999

Johnson A D, Owens G K

Abstract excerpt

E-box/basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-dependent regulation of promoters for skeletal muscle-specific genes is well established, but similar regulation of smooth muscle-selective promoters has not been reported. Using transient transfection assays of smooth muscle alpha-actin (SMalphaA) promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter constructs in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and L6 skeletal...
