| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a promoter which is characterized in that it comprises the DNA sequence (a) or (b) and a DNA comprising the nucleotide sequence shown by SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein (a) is a DNA sequence comprising the nucleotide sequence represented by at least nucleotide numbers 112-246 within the nucleotide sequence shown by SEQ ID NO: 2, and (b) is a DNA sequence comprising the nucleotide sequence represented by at least base numbers 186-282 within the nucleotide sequence shown by SEQ ID:No.3 (hereinafter referred to as the present promoter), a chimeric gene comprising the above promoter, a vector comprising the above promoter, a transformant containing the promoter, the chimeric gene or the vector, a method for expressing a gene comprising the step of expressing the desired gene in a host cell under the control of the promoter, use of the promoter for controlling the expression of a desired gene in a host cell, and a method for producing the promoter. According to the present invention, it becomes possible to provide a compact promoter suitable for more highly expressing a desired gene in the particular tissue than in other tissues in a host.</p> |
