Abstract excerpt
The DNA polymerase delta gene from Plasmodium falciparum is associated with a 1.76 kb 5' untranslated region and a promoter containing long homopolymeric (dA:dT) tracts and intrinsic DNA curvature. Here, a comprehensive deletion and mutational analysis of the DNA Pol(delta) upstream sequences has been undertaken to define functionally important regions. Removal of promoter-proximal DNA was shown to upregulate...
