(A) Schematic diagram of the genomic promoter clone used for reporter constructs (nucleotide position 1-2,894). The promoter includes exon 1 of the NBR2 gene (open box), which is located head-to-head to the BRCA1 gene, and exons 1A, 1B, and 2 of the BRCA1 gene (solid boxes). The hatched box represents a critical region for promoter function containing potential binding sites for the Ets family transcription factors and a CREB binding site (1). The solid eclipse represents the estrogen response element (ERE) (2). Restriction sites: E, EcoRI; P, PstI; S, SapI; X, XbaI. (B) Comparison of endogenous BRCA1 expression, measured by quantitative real-time RT-PCR and normalized to GAPDH message, with EGFP protein expression, measured by FACS as the ratio of BR-EGFP/CMV-EGFP of representative single cell clones. All numbers are given as percentage of SK-BR-3.
