NEFH upstream sequence analysis and construct design. (A) Sequence conservation between 40 placental mammal species within the 2.5 kb region directly upstream of the human NEFH transcriptional start site, i.e. the putative human NEFH promoter region. Conservation level between 0 and 1 was assigned to each nucleotide. Units of conserved regions have been defined as Blocks F, K, D, D1 and (A,B) Schematic representation of human NEFH promoter constructs driving an EGFP cDNA. Conserved regions hF and hA consisting of Block F and Block A, and the spacer are indicated. The murine Nefh promoter is also given for reference. Promoter element sizes are given in base pairs (bp).
