Remarks:
Data from Figure 3A. The values were normalized to beta-galactosidase (co-transfection control).

Additional notes from M Petz:

Concerning Fig. 3A, I have checked the data again. The experiment was repeated several times and the ß-Gal
activities of the cotransfected plamid were always quite equal. The normalisation to the ß-gal values did
not affect the ratio of the firefly activities in any significant way.
