“…Indeed, with an increased concentration of cAMP in the induction experiment described above (1 mM compared to 1 µM during development [Devreotes, 1982] In summary, these experiments demonstrate that a change in chromatin structure accompanies the transcriptional activation of the gp2 gene. The strong hypersensitive site at Ϫ250 bp maps close to the transcription start site of the gene [Sucic et al, 1993], while the Ϫ350 bp site corresponds to a C-rich region in the promoter. The weak site at Ϫ290 bp also maps close to the transcription start site, while the weak upstream site at Ϫ445 bp maps near a TG-rich element that has been implicated in the transcriptional regulation of gp2 by deletion analysis [Rutherford et al, 1997;Sucic et al, 1993].…”
