trans activation of human alcohol dehydrogenase gene expression in hepatoma cells by C/EBP molecules bound in a novel arrangement just 5' and 3' to the TATA box.

Abstract excerpt

A promoter sequence between nucleotide -51 and nucleotide -10 in the human alcohol dehydrogenase gene ADH2 has been shown to bind the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP). A series of 5'-end deletions of the ADH2 promoter was cotransfected with a C/EBP expression plasmid in a human hepatoma cell line, and trans activation by C/EBP was seen when at least 171 base pairs of 5'-flanking DNA was...
