Functional analysis of the ALFPm3 promoter through serial deletion and site-directed mutagenesis experiments. (a) Functional mapping of the ALFPm3 promoter deletion. For promoter region −1478 to −265, the reporter vector containing ALFPm3 promoter fragments of (−1478/+302), (−814/+302) and (−265/+302) was constructed. (b) Site-directed mutagenesis indicated by closed symbols of the transcription factor binding site Sp1 and NF-κB on the ALFPm3 promoter active region (−814/−266) and deletion of the 21 units of [GAAAGAGAGTAAGAG(T/C)] tandem repeat at position −693 to −358 from the ALFPm3 promoter region. Relative luciferase activity (%) of each construct is shown. Data represent the means ± standard deviations from three independent experiments. The error bars denote standard deviations.
