Abstract excerpt
Three upstream CBAR cis-acting promoter elements, containing the inner core CC(A/T)6GG of the serum response element (SRE), are required for myogenic cell type-restricted expression of the avian skeletal alpha-actin gene (K.L. Chow and R.J. Schwartz, Mol. Cell. Biol. 10:528-538, 1990). These actin SRE elements display differential binding properties with two distinct nuclear proteins, serum response factor (SRF)...
