Deletions: promoter length, fold-induction and relative basal expression. A series of deletions from -4741 bp to -195 bp produced shorter and shorter lengths of 5' ovine promoter. Promoter length in each construct is plotted proportionately. Opposite each deletion is either the "fold-induction" or basal expression associated with the construct presented as the mean ± sem of quadruplicates in one complete and representative experiment. # designates the bp at the 5' terminus of the deletion. Means with different symbols are statistically different from each other according to analyses by ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparison test using P ≤ 0.05.
