Abstract excerpt
A putative Ets site with a core of GGAA located at nt -88 to -85 of the rat ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) gene was characterized by site-directed mutagenesis and transient expression assays. Mutation of this site, when in pODClux2m, which contains a cluster of four Sp1-binding sites, resulted in a 2.6-fold increase in basal promoter activity in untreated cells, whereas the ratio of activity in...
