Transcriptional regulation of the human cystathionine β-synthase −1b basal promoter: synergistic transactivation by transcription factors NF-Y and Sp1/Sp3
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) catalyses the condensation of serine and homocysteine to form cystathionine, an intermediate step in the synthesis of cysteine. Human CBS encodes five distinct 5' non-coding exons, the most frequent termed CBS -1a and CBS -1b, each transcribed from its own unique GC-rich TATA-less promoter. The minimal transcriptional region (-3792 to -3667) of the CBS -1b promoter was defined by...
