Abstract excerpt
The H ferritin promoter spans approximately 150 bp, upstream of the transcription start and is composed by two cis-elements in position -132 (A box) and -62 (B-box), respectively. The A box is recognized by the transcription factor Sp1, and the B-box by a protein complex called Bbf, which includes the CAAT binding factor NF-Y. In this study we performed a functional analysis of an H ferritin promoter allele...
