Abstract excerpt
The transcription activator LFB1 is a major determinant of hepatocyte-specific expression of many genes. To study the mechanisms underlying LFB1 transcriptional selectivity, we have initiated its biochemical characterization. By in vitro complementation assays we have defined two distinct regions required for high levels of transcription, which resemble previously described activation domains. In contrast, the...
