摘要

We examined the regulatory/promoter sequence of a calcium ionophore-inducible gene isolated from the rat genome. Whereas the promoter of this ubiquitously expressed gene is active under noninduced conditions, after induction by calcium ionophore A23187 this promoter is 10- to 25-fold more active than the simian virus 40 early promoter, as measured by chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activities. Within this regulatory/promoter region, we have identified a DNA fragment with enhancer-like properties immediately 5' to the TATA sequence. This 291-nucleotide fragment acts in cis to enhance expression of the neomycin phosphotransferase (neo) gene driven by the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase promoter in an orientation-independent manner. In addition, this fragment can confer A23187 inducibility to the neo gene and effectively compete for positive regulatory factors involved in A23187 induction. Sequence analysis of this promoter reveals homology with viral core enhancer sequences, and the apparent organization of direct repeat domains is similar to those observed in viral enhancers.
