Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that the promoter proximal portion of the mouse renin enhancer contains a binding site for NF-Y (Ea) that overlaps with a positive regulatory element (Eb). In the context of the renin enhancer, NF-Y acts to oppose enhancer activity. We tested the hypothesis that NF-Y acts as a negative regulator by physically blocking the binding of transcription factors to element-b (Eb). Increasing the...
