摘要: We have identified two regions in the 5'-flanking sequence of rat quinone reductase gene that contain xenobiotic responsive elements. The DNA first region spans nucleotides -393 to -352 and shares identity with element (XRE) described for cytochrome P-450 CYPIA1 gene. second -434 -404 structural When a synthetic oligonucleotide corresponding was inserted front heterologous promoter linked chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene, an increase basal level expression as well responsiveness beta-naphthoflavone t-butylhydroquinone, but not 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, observed. sequence, -404, did any XRE shared large degree antioxidant recently glutathione S-transferase Ya subunit (Rushmore, T.
