Figure 2.

Comparison of 5′ sequences of human and murine IL-16 genes. The published start points of transcription in human cells are shown in bold (4). Nucleotide +1 corresponds to the first transcription start site of the human gene. Identical nucleotides in both sequences are indicated by ∗. Deletions indicated by dashes were introduced to obtain the highest degree of homology. The CAAT box-like sequences around positions −98 and −118 and direct repeats around +12 and −25 are overlined, the dyad symmetry element, DSE, is double-underlined, and the GABP-binding sites are boxed.
