Abstract
We have proved that iNOS is regulated by induction of transcription. The induction of iNOS mRNA requires synthesis of an intermediary protein(s) and probably involves action of a protein kinase or kinases. We have cloned and sequenced a 1.7-kilobase pair fragment from the 5'-flanking region of the iNOS gene and proved that this region contains a promoter which confers inducibility of iNOS by LPS and IFN-gamma.
