title: Molecular cloning and sequence analysis of bubaline lactoferrin promoter.
abstract: The proximal promoter for bubaline lactoferin-encoding gene has been isolated, cloned and sequenced. A 468 bp fragment of the 5' flanking region of the lactoferrin gene was PCR amplified and cloned into pUC18 vector. Sequence analysis of the amplified fragment revealed the presence of one TATA box, one TATA like element, two GC boxes and one motif resembling cAMP response element (CRE) in this region. Bubaline lactoferrin promoter shares 93%, 53%, 52% and 48% homology with cattle, pig, mouse and human lactoferrin 5' flanking region, respectively.
