Abstract:The low expression activity and specificity of natural promoters limit the 22 applications of genetic engineering. To construct a highly efficient synthetic inducible 23 promoter in the Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera), we analyzed the regulatory elements and 24 functional regions of the B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) 39K promoter. The 25 results of truncated mutation analysis of the 39K promoter showed that the 26 transcriptional regulatory region spanning positions -573 to -274 and +1 to +62 is 27 essential f… Show more
