Abstract: | Three promoters express the bovine gene encoding the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase-alpha (ACC alpha) known to be rate-limiting for fatty acid synthesis. Our sequence of promoter II shows that PII is evolutionary conserved, unlike PI or PIII. In vivo expression of PII reveals little tissue-specific restrictions. The proximal 133 bp of this promoter are sufficient for a strong basal expression in different cell lines. |
