Characterization of Secondary DNA Structures Formed in the c-myb and hTERT Promoters and Their Potential Role in the Regulation of Transcription

In this dissertation, the formation of unusual G-quadruplexes in the critical regions of the c-myb and hTERT promoters for control of promoter activity was investigated.The c-myb promoter contains three copies of an almost perfect (GGA)4 sequence. We demonstrate that the each (GGA)4 repeat forms a...
