title: A liver-specific nuclear protein that binds to the distal promoter element of the rat tyrosine aminotransferase gene.
abstract: Using a gel retardation assay and exonuclease III footprinting, we have analyzed sequence-specific DNA-binding nuclear factors which interact with the distal promoter element of the rat tyrosine aminotransferase gene. A factor called LspA1, binding to a sequence that resembles the consensus binding site for the transcription factor Ap-1, was shown to be present in adult rat-liver nuclear protein extracts but not in the extracts from embryonic liver or spleen nuclei.
