Figure 3. The 5′-flanking nucleotide sequence of the luciferase gene from Nyctophila caucasica. Nucleotides are numbered from the translation initiator ATG (bold) with A being position +1. The four putative TATA boxes at positions −63, −144, −166 and −190 and the CCAAT boxes at position −159 and −236 are indicated (underlined). The consensus binding sequences of transcription factor GATA elements are presented double underlined. Also shown is the 5′ end of the Lampyris noctiluca cDNA end product indicated by italicised bases (GenBank accession number X89479).
