Abstract
Regions attached to the nuclear scaffold have been traced after transfecting a 36-kilobase (kb) piece of DNA, surrounding the human interferon-beta gene, into mouse L-cells. An extended attached region starts 1.7 kb upstream from the gene and a moderate binding site immediately downstream. These findings could be confirmed by reconstitution experiments in vitro which predict another scaffold-attached region (SAR) starting 12 kb downstream from the gene. Since no other transcripts originate from DNA between the major SARs, these elements could be involved in interferon gene regulation.Entities:
