The Glycine max polyubiquitin (Gmubi) Promoter family

The Gmubi promoter family was selected based on similarities in the protein-coding region of the gene. The Gmubi1-9 coding regions encode perfect tetrameric repeats of the ubiquitin monomer. The Gmubi10 promoter lies upstream of a ubiquitin monomer. Gmubi1-7 promoters are intron-containing while Gmubis8-10 do not contain introns.
