Abstract excerpt
A transcription element was identified, by in vitro analyses, just downstream from the capping site of the mouse myelin basic protein (MBP) gene. Deletion of this element caused a dramatic drop of transcription efficiency in mouse brain, rat liver and HeLa cell nuclear extracts, regardless of the form of DNA being closed circular or linear form. DNase I footprint analysis demonstrated the presence of a ubiquitous...
