High impact information on SelG

Sp3 did not repress Sp1-dependent activation, as has previously been shown for other G-rich promoters [1].
The evolutionarily conserved centromeric dodeca-satellite DNA has an asymmetric distribution of guanine and cytosine residues resulting in one strand being relatively G-rich [2].
Analysis of the TS gene promoter showed that E2-responsiveness required the -229 to -140 promoter region containing a G-rich sequence and CACCC box [3].
These tandem repeats contain a G-rich core of 10-14 nucleotides surrounded by regions with a high A + T content distributed in oligo(dA).oligo(dT) tracts [4].
