Abstract excerpt
We have evaluated the basis for the constitutive and serum-regulated expression of the mouse thrombospondin (TSP) gene in both transiently and stably transfected NIH-3T3 cells. Experiments with deleted and mutated mouse promoter/CAT constructs and gel mobility assays demonstrated that an Egr-1 binding site in the proximal promoter, flanked by overlapping GC boxes and an adjacent GC-rich region, functioned to...
