Abstract excerpt
The human cytomegalovirus major immediate early enhancer/promoter (HCMV MIEP), extending from -588 to +1 relative to the transcription start site, contains a series of reiterated cis-acting elements, such as 19-bp repeats, which occur four times in the enhancer/promoter region. However, it is still not clear whether these elements repeat just for backing up or they really execute various indispensable functions....
