Abstract

Using chimeric recombinants transfected into HeLa cells and a transient expression assay, we demonstrate that the 5'-flanking region of the pS2 gene from position -428 to position -324 exhibits both constitutive and estrogen-inducible enhancer activity. The estrogen-inducible activity, but not the constitutive activity, was inhibited by antiestrogens. ICI 164,384 behaved as a pure antagonist, whereas hydroxytamoxifen was a partial agonist-antagonist. The estrogen-responsive element of the pS2 gene has been narrowed down by site-directed deletion mutagenesis to a 13-base-pair (position -405 to position -393) imperfectly palindromic sequence, which in isolation can confer estrogen inducibility to the heterologous rabbit beta-globin gene promoter. On the other hand, the sequences responsible for the constitutive enhancer activity are spread over the entire region.

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.
