Abstract excerpt
USF1, a basic region/helix-loop-helix/leucine zipper (bHLHZ) transcription factor, binds to the E-box in the PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor) promoter. Two alleles containing the E-box control PAI-1 transcription; these alleles are termed "4G" and "5G" based on the G tract flanking E-box. USF1-governed transcription of PAI-1 is elevated in heritable asthma sufferers: the 4G/4G genotype has the highest...
