Abstract
The present invention concerns novel DNA compounds which function as transcriptional activating sequences. Recombinant DNA expression vectors which contain the transcriptional activating sequences and host cells transformed with these expression vectors are also provided. When properly positioned in an expression vector, the novel transcriptional activating sequences enable regulatable expression of an operably linked gene and enhance the structural stability of the expression vector.
