Two-level regulation of cardiac actin gene transcription: muscle-specific modulating factors can accumulate before gene activation.

abstract：:Transcription from the Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MuLV) long terminal repeat (LTR) is inhibited in murine stem cells and induced during maturation of these cells. We have investigated whether alterations in the activity of this viral regulatory element also occur during differentiation of human myeloid leukemia...
