Patent ID: 7935807

Claim:
An isolated or purified polynucleotide, which comprises a sequence having a transcription promoting activity, selected from: a) SEQ ID NO: 1; b) a fragment of SEQ ID NO: 1 comprised of the nucleotide at the 5′ terminus of SEQ ID NO: 8 and the approximately 250 nucleotides of SEQ ID NO: 1 consecutively and immediately upstream of the nucleotide at the 5′ terminus of SEQ ID NO: 8; c) SEQ ID NO: 2; d) a fragment of SEQ ID NO: 1 comprised of the −1transcription initiation site of SEQ ID NO: 8 and the approximately 250 of SEQ ID NO: 1nucleotides consecutively and immediately upstream of the −1 transcription initiation site; e) a fragment of SEQ ID NO: 1and the approximately 250 nucleotides of SEQ ID NO: 1 consecutively and immediately upstream of the −1 transcription initiation site of SEQ ID NO: 8; f) a fragment of SEQ ID NO: 1 and the approximately 250 nucleotides of SEQ ID NO: 1 consecutively and immediately upstream of the +13 transcription initiation site of SEQ ID NO: 8; g) a fragment of SEQ ID NO: 1and the approximately 250 nucleotides of SEQ ID NO: 1 consecutively and immediately upstream of the +14 transcription initiation site of SEQ ID NO: 8; and (h) a sequence having at least 90% identity to a sequence in a) through g).
