Journal Article
Vernon, E. G., & Gaston, K. (2000). Myc and YY1 mediate activation of the Surf-1 promoter in response to serum growth factors. BBA - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1492(1), 172-179. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0167-4781%2800%2900116-0

The human Surf-1 and Surf-2 genes are divergently transcribed and share a single bi-directional promoter. The addition of serum growth factors to serum-starved cells activates transcription in the Surf-1 direction, but has no effect on transcription...

The human papillomavirus (HPV) E2 protein regulates viral gene expression and is also required for viral replication. HPV-transformed cells often contain chromosomally integrated copies of the HPV genome in which the viral E2 gene is disrupted. We ha...

The human papillomavirus 16 E2 protein binds to four specific DNA sequences present within the HPV 16 genome and regulates viral gene expression and DNA replication. However, the E2 protein can also bind tightly to non-specific DNA sequences. Here, w...
