Three promoters express the bovine gene encoding the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase-alpha (ACC alpha) known to be rate-limiting for fatty acid synthesis. Our sequence of promoter II shows that PII is evolutionary conserved, unlike PI or PIII. In vivo expression of PII reveals little tissue-specific restrictions. The proximal 133 bp of this promoter are sufficient for a strong basal expression in different cell lines.
三种启动子表达编码乙酰辅酶A羧化酶α(ACCα)的牛基因,已知该酶对脂肪酸合成具有限速作用。我们的启动子II序列显示,与启动子I或启动子III不同,启动子II在进化上是保守的。启动子II的体内表达几乎没有组织特异性限制。该启动子近端的133个碱基对足以在不同细胞系中实现强大的基础表达。
