Abstract excerpt
The promoter of the gene encoding a cytoplasmic guanylate-binding protein (GBP) contains two overlapping elements: the interferon stimulation response element (ISRE), which mediates alpha interferon (IFN-alpha)-dependent transcription, and the IFN-gamma activation site (GAS), which is required for IFN-gamma-mediated stimulation. The ISRE binds a factor called ISGF-3 that is activated by IFN-alpha but not by...
