This report investigates whether the Myc protein activates transcription of the human prothymosin {alpha} gene as it does in rat. The results indicate that Myc does not activate transcription; rather, it appears that the prothymosin {alpha} promoter and downstream elements are buffered so as to respond poorly to transient fluctuations in transcription factors which regulate other genes. 59 refs., 8 figs., 1 tab.
