Dissection of the beta-globin replication-initiation region reveals specific requirements for replicator elements during gene amplification.
Gene amplification plays a pivotal role in malignant transformation of human cells. A plasmid with both a mammalian replication-initiation region (IR)/origin/replicator and a nuclear matrix-attachment region (MAR) is spontaneously amplified in transfected cells by a mechanism that involves amplifica...
