Abstract excerpt
Here, we report that an E-box element located within the human topoisomerase III alpha (hTOP3 alpha) gene promoter acts as a cell type-specific enhancer. The upstream stimulatory factor (USF) was shown to specifically recognize the mutationally sensitive E-box element. When assayed by transient transfection with hTOP3 alpha promoter-dependent reporter genes, USF is transcriptionally active in HeLa cells but lacks...
