Abstract
The Far Upstream Element (FUSE) of the human c-myc gene stimulates expression in undifferentiated cells. A FUSE binding protein (FBP), also referred to as DROME (DNA-binding regulator of c-myc expression), is active in undifferentiated but not differentiated cell extracts. Cloned FBP exhibits the same DNA-binding specificity as the purified human protein and can trans-activate in a FUSE dependent manner. Sequence-specific binding to the FUSE oligonucleotide requires at least two copies of a repeat-helix unit which defines a new DNA-binding motif. Expression of FBP mRNA declined in parallel with decreased FUSE binding activity upon differentiation suggesting transcriptional regulation of FBP.
