“…This binding site includes a consensus sequence (ATCGTC) common to many, but not all, sequences with which Vmw175 can associate (Muller, 1987;Faber & Wilcox, 1986;Michael et al, 1988). We attempted to determine whether analogous sequences in the region of the gene 62 cap site were required for repression by the VZV 140K protein by constructing deletion variants of pl40CAT in which promoter sequences upstream of the TATA box remained intact but leader or cap site-leader sequences were deleted.…”
