Abstract excerpt
The developmentally specific activity of the 326-bp promoter that is shared by the paired 18 and 401 chorion genes of the silkmoth Antheraea pernyi was studied in transgenic Drosophila melanogaster. Bidirectional activity of this promoter is demonstrated in a novel dual reporter vector, containing lacZ on one side and CAT on the other. The single chorion-specific hexamer of this promoter, TCACGT, is essential for...
