Figure 7. Mouse AR promoter basal and osmotic-stress activities of site-directed mutants

Relative luciferase activity is shown with basal promoter activities depicted as black boxes and osmotic-stress activities are represented by striped boxes. Constructs include the 1.2 Kb mouse AR promoter-plasmid construct 1 (WT) and the mutant-plasmids either lacking the AEE-like element (AEE) or the TonE-like element (TonE). Values represent the mean of three independent transfections, ± standard deviation indicated by error bars.
