A variant octamer motif in a Xenopus H2B histone gene promoter is not required for transcription in frog oocytes.

Molecular and cellular biology - 1 Feb 1991

Hinkley C, Perry M

Abstract excerpt

Xenopus oocytes, arrested in G2 before the first meiotic division, accumulate histone mRNA and protein in the absence of chromosomal DNA replication and therefore represent an attractive biological system in which to examine histone gene expression uncoupled from the cell cycle. Previous studies have shown that sequences necessary for maximal levels of transcription in oocytes are present within 200 bp at the 5'...
