Abstract excerpt
The rat muscle creatine kinase (CKM) gene promoter is unusual since it is one of the few cellular promoters containing a p53 response element which is located proximally (bp -168 to -57) to the transcription start site. We have previously shown that p53wt transactivates transcription in vivo of rat CKM, in CV-1 monkey kidney cells, through this 112 bp promoter-proximal fragment which contains at least five...
