Abstract

The DNA templates containing immediate early (IE) genes of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) were transcribed in vitro by using a HeLa cell extract. When IE region 1, 2, and 3 were used, transcription was detected qualitatively only from IE region 1. Transcription was detected with DNA representing IE region 2 when the IE region 1 promoter was not present. DNA sequence analysis of the upstream regulatory region of IE region 1 detected two distinct repeats of 19 and 18 nucleotides, both being repeated four times. A putative cruciform structure could form through the surrounding sequences with each 18-nucleotide repeat being located in the unpaired region. The potential secondary structure and the repeat sequences in the regulatory region of IE region 1 are presumably related to the high level of transcription of this IE gene.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
