Genomic structure and promoter analysis of the p62 gene encoding a non‐proteasomal multiubiquitin chain binding protein

Abstract excerpt

p62 is a novel immediate early response gene encoding a ubiquitin chain binding protein. To investigate the mechanism of p62 gene expression, we isolated and characterized the 20 kb long human p62 gene. The p62 gene contains seven introns and eight exons. The splice sites conformed to the GT/AG rule, except introns 6 and 7 which used the unusual GC dinucleotides. The p62 promoter is TATA-less, and 357 nucleotides...
