Molecular cloning and analysis of the 5'-flanking region of the human bone morphogenetic protein-6 (BMP-6).

We cloned a genomic fragment of the 5'-flanking region of the gene encoding bone morphogenetic protein-6 (BMP-6) and assessed its promoter activity. Primer extension revealed the presence of one major transcription start site 178 bp upstream of the translation start site. The promoter region lacked a canonical TATA box but did contain a GC-rich region. A putative tramtrack responsive element, a Drosophila transcriptional factor regulating the segment polarity, was found in the promoter region. Known steroid hormonal responsive elements, however, were not found. Although BMP-6 is classified as a member of the vgr-1 family, the structure of the promoter was similar to that of BMP-2 and 4.[1]
