The cloning of genes encoding mammalian DNA binding transcription factors for RNA
polymerase II has provided the opportunity to analyze the structure and function of these …

Abstract Transcriptional enhancers are short (200–1500 base pairs) DNA segments that are
able to dramatically boost transcription from the promoter of a target gene. Originally …

Natural genes and proteins often contain tandemly repeated sequence motifs that
dramatically increase physiological specificity and activity. Given the selective value of such …

Appropriate regulation of transcription in higher plants requires specific cis elements in the
regulatory regions of genes and their corresponding trans-acting proteins. Analysis of the …

Cell lines stably transfected with metal inducible, MT-fos chimeric genes were used to study
the ability of the c-fos gene product, Fos, to act as a transcriptional trans-activator. In …

The enhancer-binding protein AP-1 has been purified to> 95% homogeneity from HeLa cells
by sequencespecific DNA affinity chromatography and identified as a 47 kd polypeptide …

We have analyzed expression conferred by two domains from the cauliflower mosaic virus
(CaMV) 35S promoter and found different patterns in seeds, seedlings and seven week old …

We describe the cDNA encoding the SV40 transcriptional enhancer factor 1 (TEF-1) and
show that its translation initiates exclusively at an AUU codon in vivo. Cloned TEF-1, which …

The 35S promoter is a major promoter of the cauliflower mosaic virus that infects crucifers.
This promoter is still active when excised from cauliflower mosaic virus and integrated into …

The cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S enhancer is able to confer strong constitutive
expression in plants. We have previously defined two domains within this enhancer that can …
