Abstract excerpt
We previously reported five DNA bend sites (ERB-4 to -1, and ERB+1) in the promoter region of the human estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) gene [FEBS Lett. 444 (1999) 117]. One of these sites, ERB-2, was accompanied by two half motifs of the estrogen response element (ERE) and several short poly(dA)(.)poly(dT) tracts including an A(4) tract located next to a half ERE motif. This A(4) tract and the 20 bp immediate...
