Abstract

Using crude in vitro systems, we have previously shown that RXR/RAR heterodimers are able to activate transcription from the RAR β2 promoter in a retinoid-dependent manner. Here we demonstrate that cofactors distinct from general transcription factors or receptors are required to mediate retinoic acid-dependent transcription in vitro.
