Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the chicken ovalbumin gene is induced both in vivo and in vitro by four classes of steroid hormones. Recent experiments identified a steroid-dependent regulatory element (SDRE) in the 5'-flanking region of the ovalbumin gene between -900 and -521. To characterize the regulatory properties of the SDRE more precisely, additional mutations were created in this region, and fusion genes prepared by...
