Abstract excerpt
The cis-acting control elements of the interleukin-2 receptor alpha-chain (IL-2R alpha) gene contain a potent kappa B-like enhancer whose activity can be induced by various mitogenic stimuli. Recent cloning of the p50 and p65 subunits of the kappa B-binding protein NF-kappa B complex revealed a striking sequence homology of these proteins with the c-rel proto-oncogene product (c-Rel). On the basis of this...
