Abstract excerpt
Defects in human DNA mismatch repair have been reported to underlie a variety of hereditary and sporadic cancer cases. We characterized the structure of the MSH6 promoter region to examine the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of the MSH6 gene. The 5'-flanking region of the MSH6 gene was found to contain seven functional Sp1 transcription factor binding sites that each bind Sp1 and Sp3 and contribute to...
