Sequencing analysis showed that the cloned fragment BCSP666 had the similar structure to the soybeanseed-specific promoter b-conglycinin a'-subunit gene promoter and b-conglycinin b-subunit gene promoter, and it alsocontains many motifs that contribute to the seed-specific promoter activity. Based on this sequencing analysis, wededuced that promoter fragment BCSP666 had the seed-sepecific promoter activity. And then we constructed the seed-specific expression vector pBMI666 with the promoter fragment BCSP666 and D6-fatty acid desaturase gene fromMortierella isabellina. The D6-fatty acid desaturase is the rate-limiting enzyme of the desaturation of linoleic acid in theproduction of a human essential fatty acid, g-linolenic acid(GLA). The production of g-linolenic acid(GLA) was observedin soybean callus cells, which were transformed with this vector. This confirmed the activity of the activity fragmentBCSP666.展开更多

The results showed that the promotor activity of bovine α-S1-casein gene was the best, and would be used to produce pharmaceutically and medically important proteins in the mammary gland of transgenic animals and also for the construction of an inducible eukaryotic expression vector.展开更多
