Table 2.

List of metal regulatory elements (MRE) found in the different D. pulex metallothionein genes based upon the consensus sequence TGCRCNC. If more than one MRE was found, the MRE located the furthest from the transcription start site is denote MRE1, other MREs are then numbered consecutively based upon their location from the transcription start site.
