Abstract excerpt
The requirements of the SP6 kappa promoter for transcriptional activation were studied in nontransformed murine B lymphocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Three different DNA motifs, besides the TATA-box, were needed for restoration of transcriptional activation to the same magnitude as seen with the native SP6 kappa promoter. The decamer motif (TNCTTTGCAT) was found to induce transcription alone and...
