Abstract excerpt
Murine Nramp1 encodes a divalent cation transporter that is expressed in late endosomes/lysosomes of macrophages, and the transported cations facilitate intracellular pathogen growth control. The Nramp1 promoter is TATA box-deficient, has two initiator elements, and is repressed by c-Myc, in accordance with the notion that genes that deplete the iron content of the cell cytosol antagonize cell growth. Repression...
