Abstract excerpt
The Ah receptor (AhR) and HLF are transcription factors involved in xenobiotic metabolism and hypoxic response, respectively. AhR and HLF heterodimerize with Arnt as the common partner, and bind to asymmetric E-boxes termed XRE and HRE, respectively. In order to investigate nucleotide preference of the heterodimers, reporter plasmids with oligonucleotides for XREs or HREs with systematic mutations were...
