Abstract excerpt
We showed previously that transcription of the ran gene in Giardia lamblia is regulated by an AT-rich initiator. In the present study, the ran initiator was found to regulate transcription of a neighbouring PHD zinc-finger protein gene. Deletion and scanning mutagenesis of the phd promoter in a firefly luciferase reporter system showed that the promoter activity is determined by multiple single-stranded T-tract...
