GENE EXPRESSION CONSTRUCT

摘要

Provided are novel nucleic acid molecule encoding modified HAP1 DNA-binding domains. Also provided are novel reporter genes based on GFP and extension. The materials provided by the invention may be used in a variety of methods of activating genes having HAP1 upstream activation sequences in plants, which methods can be used to co-ordinate or investigate gene expression, optionall y in conjunction with GAL4-regulated expression, and also in novel "enhancer" traps.
