5'-flanking sequence required for regulated expression of a muscle-specific Drosophila melanogaster actin gene.

We have functionally tested derivatives of a muscle-specific Drosophila melanogaster actin gene in which 5'-flanking sequences have been deleted or rearranged. From our results we conclude that approximately 1,000 nucleotides of 5'-flanking sequence are required for wild-type levels of mRN...
