Abstract
The expression of a hybrid gene formed by the promoter region of the Xenopus laevis vitellogenin gene B1 and the CAT coding region is regulated by estrogen when the gene is transfected into hormone-responsive MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, the 5' flanking region of the gene B1 alone can confer inducibility to heterologous promoters, although to a varying extent depending on the promoter used. Deletion mapping of he vitellogenin hormone-responsive sequences revealed that a 13 bp element 5'-AGTCACTGTGACC-3' at position -334 is essential for estrogen inducibility. We have shown previously that this 13 bp element is present upstream of several liver-specific estrogen-inducible genes.
