CCAAT displacement protein, a regulator of differentiation-specific gene expression, binds a negative regulatory element within the 5' end of the human papillomavirus type 6 long control region

Abstract excerpt

We have reported previously that a 636-bp fragment spanning the 5' two-thirds of the human papillomavirus type 6 (HPV6)-W50 long control region (LCR) functions as a transcriptional silencer (A. Farr, S. Pattison, B.-S. Youn, and A. Roman, J. Gen. Virol. 76:827-835, 1995). We have utilized nested deletion analyses to implicate a 66-bp sequence which appears to be critical for this activity. A comparison of the...
