Abstract excerpt
We previously cloned and characterized the promoter region of the human NeuAcalpha2,3Galbeta1,3GalNAcalpha2,6-sialyltransferase (hST6GalNAc IV) gene [Kim et al. (2003)]. In the present study, we identified a region of 294 bp upstream of exon 1 of the gene that produced maximal transcriptional activity in human Jurkat T cells. Site-directed mutagenesis and transient transfection assays demonstrated that Sp1 and...
