Abstract excerpt
As human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs) in culture senesce, the expression of thymidine kinase (TK) and the activity of its promoter become attenuated. Herein we analyze the cis-elements involved in transcriptional activation of the hTK promoter, and show that the Sp1 binding site located at -118/-113 and one CCAAT box located at either -71/-67 or -40/-36 are critical for maximal expression of hTK promoter activity...
