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.
Data kindly reviewed (02-SEPT-1987) by Blumenthal T.
