Gap junctions have been reported to play a pivotal role in coordinating embryonic development. Here we report the temporal and spatial pattern of connexin31 that has been found to be coexpressed with connexin43 in preimplantation rat embryos. Connexin31 and connexin43 transcripts are abundant in the

We established transgenic Drosophila strains in which the lacZ gene was expressed under the control of the 5'-upstream regulatory region of the Sarcophaga lectin gene promoter (3.1 kbp). The reporter gene was expressed in the fat bodies of the transgenic larvae when they were immunized by body prick
The human surface antigen CD24 is over-expressed in small-cell lung cancer. Here we describe the isolation, sequencing and functional characterization of the 5Π-flanking region of the human CD24 gene. A sequence (accession number: Y14692) of 3.4 kb regulates the activity of a luciferase reporter gen
Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) increases steady-state mRNA levels of several extracellular matrix proteins in mineralized connective tissues. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a major constituent of the bone matrix, thought to initiate and regulate the formation of mineral crystals. To determine the
Transiently transfected cell lines and transgenic mice were used to study the transcriptional activity of the 5-flanking region of the catalase gene. Fragments of the 5-flanking region of the rat catalase gene ranging in length from 3,421 base pairs (bp) to 69 bp were fused to the chloramphenicol ac
