摘要
A plasmid was constructed with the promoter/regulatory region of the mouse metallothionein-I gene fused to the structural gene of herpes virus thymidine kinase. When mouse eggs were microinjected with this plasmid and incubated with Cd (a natural inducer of metallothionein gene transcription) thymidine kinase activity increased .apprx. 10-fold compared with control eggs not exposed to Cd. Analysis of a set of deletion mutants revealed that the minimum sequence required for Cd regulation lies within 90 nucleotides of the transcription start site.
