A positive clone, harboring the whole open reading frame of the GAT-1 protein and designated as MGABAT-G, was fished out from the library, the 5’ proximal region and nitron 1 were sequenced and analysed, and low homology was found in the above region between GAT-1 genes from mouse and human except some short conserved sequences. The DNA-protein interactions between DNA fragments containing the conserved sequences in the 5’ proximal region and nuclear proteins from different tissues of mouse were studied by means of gel-shift assay, and Southern-Western blot. The results indicate a possible positive-negative regulation mode controlling the expression of the mouse GAT-1 gene.展开更多
