Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the interferon regulatory factor-1 gene (IRF-1) is induced in a biphasic manner (G1 and G1/S phase) in Nb2 T cells in response to prolactin (PRL) stimulation. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (Stat1) is required for PRL activation of the IRF-1 promoter. Mutation of a -200 bp Sp1 site in the IRF-1 promoter results in a loss of G1 but not G1/S IRF-1 transcriptional activity in...
