Abstract excerpt
To analyze regulatory elements in the human alpha 2(I) collagen gene (COL1A2) promoter, a series of deletion mutants from -323 to -186 base pairs was tested in transient transfection assays in human fibroblasts. A strong positive responsive element was mapped to a GC-rich region located between base pairs -303 and -271. This region contains three binding sites (GC-boxes) resembling recognition sites for the...
