An E box in the desmin promoter cooperates with the E box and MEF-2 sites of a distal enhancer to direct muscle-specific transcription.

The first 85 nt upstream of the transcription initiation site of the mouse desmin gene, which contain an E box (E1), the binding site of the helix-loop-helix myogenic regulators, are sufficient to confer low level muscle-specific expression. High levels of desmin expression are due to an enhancer, l...
