Abstract excerpt
To study the mechanism of transcriptional activation of the Xenopus homeobox gene Xvent-2B, we have delineated the bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4)-responsive region between -275/-152 in the proximal promoter. Consistent with the BMP-4 inductive nature of this region, this element exhibits transcriptional activation upon ectopic expression of Smad1 and Smad4. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays with total...
