Figure 4. TdIF1 promotes transcription in a luciferase reporter assay.
(A) TdIF1 promotes transcription. The pGL3-promoter-TdIF1-binding sequence and pRL-TK were co-transfected with pEGFP or pEGFP-TdIF1 into 293T cells, and the luciferase activity was assayed. The relative luciferase activity was normalized to the value obtained with the pGL3-promoter and pEGFP. Error bars represent S.E.M. Samples significantly different from the control are indicated by asterisks (p<0.01). (B) TdIF1 promotes transcription by directly binding to DNA. The pGL3-promoter-TdIF1-binding sequence and pRL-TK were co-transfected with pEGFP-TdIF1 truncated and point mutants, and the luciferase activity was assayed. Error bars represent S.E.M.
