Abstract excerpt
The RET proto-oncogene plays an important role in the initiation and progression of tumors derived from the neural crest. The cis-regulatory elements responsible for RET basal promoter activity have not been identified. To characterize these elements, a RET promoter DNA fragment (-453 to +227bp) was fused to a luciferase reporter and introduced into TT, a neural crest-derived cell line. Sequential 5' deletions of...
