The transcription start site and promoter of the rat gene coding for the transcription factor NF-1 have been identified. The NF-1 promoter was fused to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase-coding sequence, and the resulting plasmid was transcriptionally active in the HepG2 cell line. Footprinting and gel retardation analysis indicated that the transcription factor Sp1 binds to the NF-1 promoter. Mutants in the Sp1-binding site displayed a strong reduction in transcriptional activity.
编码转录因子NF-1的大鼠基因的转录起始位点和启动子已被确定。将NF-1启动子与氯霉素乙酰转移酶编码序列融合,所得质粒在HepG2细胞系中具有转录活性。足迹法和凝胶阻滞分析表明转录因子Sp1与NF-1启动子结合。Sp1结合位点的突变体转录活性显著降低。
