Abstract excerpt
LpS1 RNA transcripts and proteins are expressed exclusively in the aboral ectoderm of the embryo in the sea urchin Lytechinus pictus. We have characterized the LpS1-beta promoter to identify the cis-acting elements that may be involved in the aboral ectoderm-specific expression of the LpS1-beta gene. The distal G-string site, composed of six contiguous guanine deoxynucleotides located at -721 to -726, was...
