Interaction between PU.1 and Another Ets Family Transcription Factor Promotes Macrophage-specific Basal Transcription Initiation
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
Numerous macrophage-restricted promoters lack TATA boxes or other conventional initiation motifs but contain high affinity binding sites (PU boxes) for the macrophage-restricted Ets family transcription factor PU.1. In RAW264 murine macrophages, multimerized PU boxes were not active as enhancers when placed upstream of a minimal promoter. To model their role in basal promoters, we inserted PU boxes into a...
