Abstract excerpt
The PA promoter in the human uracil-DNA glycosylase gene (UNG) directs expression of the nuclear form (UNG2) of UNG proteins. Using a combination of promoter deletion and mutation analyses, and transient transfection of HeLa cells, we show that repressor and derepressor activities are contained within the region of DNA marked by PA. Footprinting analysis and electrophoretic mobility shift assays of PA and...
