A novel site, Mt, in the human desmin enhancer is necessary for maximal expression in skeletal muscle.

Abstract excerpt

Previous investigations have shown that expression of the muscle-specific intermediate filament desmin gene in skeletal muscle is controlled in part by a 5' muscle-specific enhancer. This enhancer activity can be divided into myoblast-specific and myotube-specific activation domains. The myotube-specific region contains a MyoD and MEF2 sites, whereas the myoblast-specific region contains Sp1, Krox, and Mb sites....
