title: In vitro transcription of the mouse whey acidic protein promoter is affected by upstream sequences.
abstract: The promoter sequences from -175 to +10 of the mouse whey acidic protein (WAP) gene are a target for sequence-specific binding of nuclear proteins [(1987) Nucleic Acids Res. 15, 2103-2121]. Using in vitro transcription assays based on nuclear extracts, transcription factors were shown to bind to these sequences and promoter upstream sequences were found to stimulate transcription.
