Identification of multiple promoters within the N-ras proto-oncogene.

Abstract excerpt

N-ras possesses a 'housekeeping' promoter, being G + C-rich and devoid of a TATA-box. Transcription initiates at a number of locations within this gene, a phenomena that is generally attributed to the absence of a TATA-box. In this report we investigate the possibility that multiple promoters, wh...
