Patent ID: 8115056

Claim:
A nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleic acid sequence comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, or a fragment thereof having promoter activity, wherein said fragment comprises SEQ ID NO:26; (b) a nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes to the nucleic acid sequence of (a) under conditions of 5×SSC, 50% formamide and 42° C., wherein the isolated nucleic acid sequence has promoter activity; (c) a nucleic acid sequence having at least 98% sequence identity to the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, or a fragment thereof having promoter activity, wherein said fragment comprises SEQ ID NO:26, wherein the nucleic acid sequence has promoter activity; and (d) the complement of any of (a)-(c), wherein said nucleic acid sequence is operably linked to a heterologous coding sequence.
