TRANSLATIONAL ENHANCER DNA

摘要

The gene which expresses the light (.beta.-)chain of kinesin contains at its 5'-end a region of DNA of high secondary structure which provides a strong enhancer of translation in the human kinesin gene it forms a double hairpin loop. The secondary structure, optionally with flanking sequence, is claimed as isolated DNA. Constructs in which it serves is an enhancer for expression of foreign DNA are also claimed.
