- the putative E 2 F-1 binding site is located about 1.2 kbp downstream of the reported transcription start site, and this promoter activity affects the previously reported transcription start site. Is hard to imagine. Therefore, in order to investigate whether this region acts on the previously reported transcription start site, deletion mutants of various lengths lacking this transcription start site were prepared and Luciferase assay was performed in the same manner as above, and the transcriptional activity of E 2 F-1 was examined. As a result, constructs deleted up to about 1 kbp downstream of the transcription start site had promoter activity, and increased transcriptional activity due to E2F-1 was also observed. Thus, it was suggested that mR ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ controlled by E2F-11 of PDGFR- ⁇ could be expressed from a new transcription start site (Fig. 6).
