Abstract excerpt
The regulation of Werner's syndrome gene (WRN) expression was studied by characterizing the cis-regulatory elements in the promoter region and the trans-activating factors that bind to them. First, we defined the transcription initiation sites and the sequence of the 5' upstream region (2.8 kb) of WRN that contains a number of cis-regulatory elements, including 7 Sp1, 9 retinoblastoma control element (RCE), and...
