Abstract excerpt
Transgenic analyses have defined two transcriptional enhancers that regulate MyoD expression in mammals, the core enhancer and distal regulatory region; these enhancers exhibit complementary activities and together are sufficient to recapitulate MyoD expression in developing and mature skeletal muscle. The core enhancer is activated in presumptive muscle cells and determined myoblasts, suggesting an important...
