title: Characterization of the promoter region of the murine fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 gene.
abstract: To obtain some clue for the regulatory mechanism by which fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor 1 (FGFR 1) gene is expressed, we have cloned the promoter region of this gene from genomic library of mouse FGF-responsive cell lines. The genomic clone isolated here includes the FGFR 1 gene from position -868 to +697 relative to transcription initiation site. Sequence analysis reveals the presence of various consensus sequences for the binding sites of transcriptional factors such as SP 1, GCF, Oct-I, AP 1 and AP 2, but the absence of TATA and CAAT sequence motif. The transfection of this promoter-CAT constructs into NIH 3T3 cells demonstrates its promoter activity which is at least located between base -106 and +104.
