Abstract excerpt
DNase I footprinting of the rat TGF alpha promoter in the presence of crude cell nuclear extract revealed three sites of protein-DNA interaction (Fp-A, Fp-B, Fp-C) in the region from -222 to +73. Mutation of specific sites within the Fp-A and Fp-B regions reduced expression of a TGF alpha promoter-reporter gene (TGF alphaLUC) from 50-90% in transiently transfected CHO cells, indicating the importance of...
