The promoter region of the mouse thymidylate synthase gene was analyzed by deletion and site-directed mutagenesis. Elimination of an upstream Sp1 element reduced expression threefold, whereas elimination of an adenovirus upstream stimulatory factor element had little effect. All of the upstream elements that are essential for promoter activity are located within 22 nucleotides of the first transcriptional initiation site.
通过缺失和定点诱变分析了小鼠胸苷酸合成酶基因的启动子区域。去除上游的Sp1元件使表达降低了三倍,而去除腺病毒上游刺激因子元件则几乎没有影响。启动子活性所必需的所有上游元件都位于第一个转录起始位点的22个核苷酸范围内。
