Characterization of the human RB1 promoter and of elements involved in transcriptional regulation
1994
The retinoblastoma gene (RUl) is a recessive oncogene implicated in a number of human tumors. Although the RB1 gene is expressed in most proliferating cells, there is considerable evidence for the transcriptional regulation of this gene. Therefore, we have performed a detailed analysis of the regulatory elements in the promoter of the human RB1 gene. Deletion analysis of the 5’ upstream region determined the location of the basal promoter to be between -208 and -1 79 nucleotides relative to the translational start. This region contains essential binding sites for the transcription elements ATF
