They show the varied transcription regulation activity in different cell lines. However, E4 type (H2-2) shows the distinct promoter activity in the human kidney HEK293 cell line. We thus constructed the series of deletion mutants based on the boundary of U3, R and U5 region. Transient transfection assay of 10 deletion mutants show that U3 is crucial region for transcription regulation. By the computational approaches, 7 potential transcription factors are identified in U3 region. MAZR, HIF-1, STAT5A, and GATA-4 seem to be positive factors and c-ETS-1, CDP, and IRF should be acted by negative elements in human cell lines. • Introduction • Materials & Methods Virus (Virus-like particle) Virus 11.
