Sequence of the human CALM II calmodulin gene promoter region.
A clone containing a portion of the promoter region for the human bona fide CALM II gene was isolated using a human Promoter Finder DNA Walking Kit. This promoter region contains, putatively, a GC box (common in housekeeping genes), a CRE-binding site, a TATA like box and AGGGA sequences. The latter are reported to be present in genes for Ca2+ binding genes. This human promoter region exhibits overall 85% sequence identity to the corresponding region of the rat CALM II promoter but shows no identity to the corresponding region of the human CALM I or CALM III promoters.
