Abstract

The Tsix regulatory region was examined in vole Microtus rossiaemeridionalis. The minimal promoter region, three potential enhancer regulatory elements and one transcription suppressor element were identified. The enhancer regions contained potential binding sites of transcription activators, while in the region of putative silencer contained potential binding site of the ARP1 (NR2F2) protein. This protein can play the role of either activator or repressor depending on the promoter context.
