Abstract excerpt
To investigate the mechanism of transcription of the rat ribosomal DNA (rDNA) promoter, a series of 23 linker-scanning mutants were constructed and assayed in transfected CHO cells and with cell-free extracts. With minor variation, the results of the in vitro and in vivo assays paralleled one another. For example, these assays demonstrated that the mutagenesis of bases from -133 to -124, and those from -106 to...
