摘要
We have manipulated positional relationships between the SV40 early operator and promoter to study the repression of transcription by T antigen. Single or multiple insertions of T-antigen-binding region I resulted in only weak repression even when the operator was placed immediately adjacent to known promoter elements. The low levels of repression appear to reflect the intrinsic strength of the T-antigen-operator interaction.
