An enhancer-like sequence within the Xenopus U2 gene promoter facilitates the formation of stable transcription complexes.

Nature - 1 Jan 2000

Mattaj I W, Lienhard S, Jiricny J, De Robertis E M

Abstract excerpt

Enhancers are eukaryotic promoter elements that increase transcriptional efficiency in a manner relatively independent of their position and orientation with respect to a nearby gene. There is growing evidence that enhancer action is mediated by transacting factors, but the mode of action of these factors is not yet known. We report here on the Xenopus U2 gene promoter, which contains two sequence elements. The...
