Abstract excerpt
The spacer promoter of the rat rDNA repeat consists of two functional domains: a core (proximal) element that is sufficient for transcription in vitro, and an upstream (distal) promoter element that increases the efficiency of transcription. Two of the transcription factors that interact with the 45S promoter also interact with the spacer promoter. Rat SL-1, is required for transcription of the spacer promoter by...
