Characterization of the human XPA promoter

Gene. 1995 Dec 12;166(2):341-2. doi: 10.1016/0378-1119(95)00649-4.

Abstract

We cloned the human xeroderma pigmentosum group A gene (XPA) and characterized the XPA promoter (pXPA) by transient cat expression. The pXPA is extraordinarily weak in human fibroblasts (1% of RSV-LTR) and appears to function without any of the usual promoter elements. Regions containing positive and negative control elements were localized.
