Figure 6. The PiC gene silencer confers inhibition to a heterologous promoter.

Figure 6

The silencer of the PiC gene corresponding to nt −943/−919 was cloned in both directions into the pEMBL8-CAT plasmid upstream of the ferritin promoter and tested for CAT expression activity in transfected HeLa cells. Numbering indicates the direction of the DNA sequence inserted in the vector. The values are expressed as percentage of the activity of the pEMBL8-CAT plasmid containing the ferritin promoter (pFerritin) alone. Means±S.D. for three duplicate independent experiments are shown.
