Table 1. DNA constructs used in the transgene expression system
pLuc series contain the 5x17-mer GAL4 binding site and the luciferase reporter gene (luc) regulated by the different promoters; pGV series contain GAL4-VP16 DNA regulated by CMVP or R65P (Figure 1A). pLuc-GV series combine luc, the 5x17-mer and GAL4-VP16 DNAs in the same construct (Figure 1B). There are two types of single DNAs according to the regulation of the reporter gene: the minimal promoter (TATA) or the RPE65 promoter (R65P).
