Abstract excerpt
Complementation of a posterior silk gland (psg) extract to a HeLa cell extract specifically enhances the transcription of the Bombyx mori fibroin gene. To map the regions responsible for this enhancement, the fibroin promoter was dissected and the transcriptional function of each region was analyzed. Besides the upstream promoter element 5' to the TATA box, two downstream elements were found to be important for...
