Abstract excerpt
The mouse dihydrofolate reductase (Dhfr) promoter region is buried within a CpG island (a region rich in unmethylated CpG dinucleotides), has a high G+C content, and lacks CAAT and TATA elements. The region contains four 48-bp repeats, each of which contains an Sp1-binding site. Another gene, Rep-3 (formerly designated Rep-1), shares the same general promoter region with Dhfr, being transcribed in the direction...
