Abstract excerpt
Human type I collagen alpha2 (COL1A2) gene has two dinucleotide repeats: one in the 5'-flanking region of the gene is composed of poly(dC-dA) and poly(dC-dG), while the other in the first intron consists of poly(dG-dT). In this study, we show that transcription of the COL1A2 gene is regulated by these repeats. Luciferase reporter gene assay indicated that the transcriptional activity of the COL1A2 gene was...
