LOCUS CELVIT9 347 bp ds-DNA INV 18-MAY-1991 DEFINITION Caenorhabditis elegans vitellogenin gene Vit-6 ACCESSION X02756 KEYWORDS vitellogenin. SOURCE Caenorhabditis elegans DNA. ORGANISM Caenorhabditis elegans Eukaryota; Animalia; Metazoa; Nemata; Secernentea; Spiruria; Spirurida; Spirurina; Filarioidea; Filariidae. REFERENCE 1 (bases 1 to 347) AUTHORS Spieth,J., Denison,K., Kirtland,S. and Cane,J. TITLE The C. elegans vitellogenin genes: short sequence repeats in the promoter regions and homology to the vertebrate genes JOURNAL Nucleic Acids Res. 13, 5283-5295 (1985) STANDARD full automatic COMMENT EPD; 11016; Ce vitellogenin 6. Direct repeat 1 (TGTCAAT) shows homology to the CAAT box. Direct repeat 2 (CTGATAA) shows a high degree of conservation and may play an important role in regulation of vitellogenin gene expression.
