Abstract excerpt
Sea urchin stage-specific activator protein (SSAP) activates transcription of the late H1 gene at the mid-blastula stage of development. Its C-terminal 202 amino acids form a potent glycine/glutamine rich activation domain (GQ domain) that can transactivate reporter genes to levels 5-fold higher than VP16 in several mammalian cell lines. We observed that, unlike other glutamine-rich activation domains, the GQ...
