摘要
The levels of expression of the murine c-myb gene, like those of several other proto-oncogenes, can be controlled by a block of transcriptional elongation within the first intron of the gene. We have performed run-off experiments with double- and single-stranded probes on the myelomonocytic cell line U937, and show that this mechanism of transcriptional arrest is true also for the human c-myb gene and takes place within the first intron. Furthermore, we have sequenced the entire first intron of the human c-myb gene, and discuss the sequence structure in relation to its putative ability to arrest RNA polymerase II and its high degree of homology with the equivalent murine intron.
