Ionizing radiation activates transcription of the EGR1 gene via CArG elements.
1 Nov 1992
Abstract excerpt
The present studies have examined the effects of ionizing radiation on control of the early growth response 1 (EGR1) gene. Exposure of human HL-525 cells to x-rays was associated with increases in EGR1 mRNA levels. Nuclear run-on assays showed that this effect is related at least in part to activation of EGR1 gene transcription. Sequences responsive to ionizing radiation-induced signals were determined by...
