Sequence homologies in the region preceding the transcription initiation site of the liver estrogen-responsive vitellogenin and apo-VLDLII genes
Open accessAbstract
In the liver of oviparous vertebrates vitellogenin gene expression is controlled by estrogen. The nucleotide sequence of the 5' flanking region of the Xenopus laevis vitellogenin genes A1, A2, B1 and B2 has been determined. These sequences have been compared to each other and to the equivalent region of the chicken vitellogenin II and apo-VLDLII genes which are also expressed in the liver in response to estrogen. The homology between the 5' flanking region of the Xenopus genes B1 and B2 is higher than between the corresponding regions of the other closely related genes A1 and A2. Four short blocks of sequence homology which are present at equivalent positions in the vitellogenin genes of both Xenopus laevis and chicken are characterized. A short sequence with two-fold rotational symmetry (GGTCANNNTGACC) was found at similar positions upstream of the five vitellogenin genes and is also present in two copies close to the 5' end of the chicken apo-VLDLII gene. The possible functional significance of this sequence, common to liver estrogen-responsive genes, is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
