Abstract excerpt
To localize regions in the human transcription factor Sp1, which are involved in activating transcription of the U2 snRNA gene promoter and of a TATA box gene promoter, the activation potentials of GAL4/Sp1 chimeras were analyzed in mammalian cells. In vitro mutagenesis analysis of Sp1 showed that mutation of a hydrophobic amino acid residue in glutamine-rich activation domain A impairs stimulation of...
