摘要 Little is known about the cis-acting elements controlling transcriptional activities of fish rhodopsin and myf-5 genes. Transgenic medaka and zebrafish were used to characterize promoters of carp (Cyprinus carpio) rhodopsin gene (cRh) and zebrafish (Danio rerio) myf-5 gene (myf-5), respectively. Transgenic medaka carrying different lengths of cRh upstream fragments fused with enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) gene revealed several functional regions. Both upstream regions from ?1261 to ?163 bp (?1261/?163) and ?163/?138 contributed to enhance the retina-specific activities of cRh. The cNRE (?75/?63) and CSE (?52/?46) motifs located at the cRh proximal promoter were sufficient to drive the transgene expressed in retinae. The ?73/?68 within cNRE was also proved to be essential for the integrity of the minimal cis-regulatory elements. Regarding the myf-5, transgene expression in zebrafish embryos injected with different deletion fragments of zebrafish myf-5 upstream sequences showed that the ?2776/?2456 and ?1046/?844 regions contributed to the enhancer function. The ?290/?154 region might be involved in controlling the translocation of progenitor muscle cells. Moreover, the upstream ?82/?1 region was identified as a minimal promoter required for somite-specific expression. The ?82/?62 region was the most critical sequence for myf-5 specificity.
