The promoter of the human thymidine kinase gene was defined by DNA sequence and genetic analyses. Mutant plasmids with deletions extending into the promoter region from both the 5' and 3' directions were constructed. The mutants were tested in a gene transfer system for the ability to transform TK- cells to the TK+ phenotype. This analysis delimited the functional promoter to within an 83-base-pair region upstream of the mRNA cap site. This region contains sequences common to other eucaryotic promoters including G X C-rich hexanucleotides, a CAAT box, and an A X T-rich region. The CAAT box is in an inverted orientation and is part of a 9-base-pair sequence repeated twice in the promoter region. Comparison of the genomic sequence with the cDNA sequence defined the first exon of the thymidine kinase gene.

We dissected the promoter of the developmentally induced and cyclic AMP-repressed discoidin I gamma gene and identified a sequence element essential for developmental induction. Transfer of the element to an inactive heterologous promoter demonstrated that this sequence is sufficient to confer expression in axenically growing cells and to induce gene activity in development after growth on bacteria. A 16-base-pair sequence within this element was shown to be sufficient for induction in the discoidin promoter context and was used to reactivate different truncated promoter constructs. This led to the localization of an element necessary for down regulation of gene expression by extracellular cyclic AMP.
