Figure 2From: Expression of human eukaryotic initiation factor 3f oscillates with cell cycle in A549 cells and is essential for cell viability Transcriptional activity of human eIF3f gene. Promoter activity of the upstream sequence of eIF3f copy in chromosomes 2 is transcriptionally inactive in both 293-H and A549 asynchronous cultures, as exhibited by luciferase activity; in contrast, the eIF3f gene in chromosome 11 is active. Luciferase activity with the empty vector pGL3 was below 10 RLU/μg of protein. Data expressed as mean ± SE; * p < 0.01 with respect to control (pGL3), n ≥ 3.Back to article page
