Cooperativity between far upstream enhancer and proximal promoter elements of the human {alpha}2(I) collagen (COL1A2) gene instructs tissue specificity in transgenic mice.

Interaction between the proximal (-378) promoter and the far upstream (-20 kb) enhancer is essential for tissue-specific expression of the human alpha2(I) collagen gene (COL1A2) in transgenic mice. Previous in vitro studies have shown that three Sp1 binding sites (around -300) are part of a cytokine...
