Abstract

IUF1 is a pancreatic β cell-specific factor which binds to the sequence 5′-CPyCTAATG-3′ (CT box) within the human insulin gene enhancer. Here we show that IUF1 is composed of 2 binding activities that can be separated by DEAE ion exchange chromatography. South Western blot analysis indicates that these distinct binding activities have apparent molecular weights of 115 kDa and 46 kDa.
