Abstract excerpt
The determinants of in vivo target site selectivity by transcription factors are poorly understood. To find targets for the developmentally regulated transcription factor TBX2, we generated stable transfectants of human embryonic kidney cells (293) that express a TBX2-ecdysone receptor (EcR) chimeric protein. While constitutive expression of TBX2 is toxic to 293 cells, clones expressing TBX2EcR are viable in the...
