title: Upstream region of a genomic gene for human mitochondrial transcription factor 1.
abstract: A genomic gene for human mitochondrial transcription factor 1 was cloned from a human genomic library and its 5' flanking region was sequenced. No typical TATA and three consensus sequences for potential Sp1 binding site were found in its 5' flanking region of 2 kilobase pairs. There were, at least, four common sequences among some nuclear genes for mitochondrial-related proteins.
