摘要: We have studied in vitro transcription of the human epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor proto-oncogene using nuclear extracts A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells, which overproduce EGF receptor. With system we found that Sp1 and other trans-acting factors bound to promoter regions are required for maximal expression. Fractionation showed a DEAE-Sepharose fraction (BA) contained novel factor, specifically stimulated 5- 10-fold. The molecular mass native form is about 270-kDa based on its migration Sephacryl S-300. This may activate through weak or indirect interaction with DNA template.
