Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of strong transcriptional activators like herpes simplex virion protein 16 (VP16) may lead to non-specific inhibition of gene expression as a result of the titration of transcription factors. Here we report that a fusion between the homeoprotein Hoxa2 and the VP16 activation domain inhibits transcription from the strong promoter/enhancers of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Rous sarcoma virus (RSV). A...
