Abstract excerpt
The two major zona pellucida proteins of the zebrafish chorion, Zp2 and Zp3, are encoded by multicopy genes arranged in tandem arrays on chromosomes 20 and 2, respectively. Expression of these zp genes in zebrafish is oocyte specific, and we report herein that their activity in developing oocytes is dependent on conserved CCAAT box sites in their promoters. A 140-bp region immediately upstream of the...
