Figure 5.

Structure of gene and 5′-flanking region of mouse Tnmd. (a) Organization of mouse Tnmd. Closed and open boxes in the horizontal line represent the coding and untranslated regions of mouse Tnmd, respectively. The scale bar represents 1 kilobase (kb). (b) Nucleotide sequences of the 5′-flanking region, 5′-untranslated region (5-UTR), and translation start site of mouse Tnmd. Asterisks indicate the transcription start sites as determined by CapSite hunting. The translation initiation codon ATG is boxed. A TATA box and the consensus sequences of the E-box (CANNTG) for bHLH transcription factors (E1, E2, E3, E4, and E5) are underlined.
