To identify the 5′ sequences of the murine coagulation factor VII (fVII) gene that resulted in
its efficient transcription, a variety of 5′-flanking sequences up to 7 kilobase pairs upstream
of the translation ATG initiation codon were fused to the reporter gene, bacterial
chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, and relative expression levels of this gene in mouse
Hepa 1–6 cells were determined. It was found that the 5′ region extending approximately
85 base pairs (bp) upstream of the transcriptional initiation site served as the minimal DNA …
