TABLE 1

Oligonucleotides used for the production of promoter constructs, site-directed mutagenesis, EMSA, and quantitative PCR With regard to the oligonucleotides used for EMSA and site-directed mutagenesis, the HNF1-motif in the hOAT1 promoter is underlined. Boldface type indicates the difference in the sequence of the per and mut compared with the wild-type sequence found in the hOAT1 promoter.
