The present invention relates to isolated actin and β-actin nucleic acid promoter molecules from shrimp; nucleic acid expression cassettes including actin and β-actin promoter molecules isolated from shrimp; and expression vectors, host cells, and transgenic animals transduced with the isolated actin and β-actin nucleic acid promoter. Also disclosed are methods for imparting to an animal resistance against a pathogen; regulating growth of an animal; increasing stress tolerance in an animal; and increasing cold tolerance in an animal that involve transforming an animal with a nucleic acid construct including the isolated actin and β-actin nucleic acid promoter molecules of the present invention. The present invention also relates to isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding for actin and β-actin proteins or polypeptides, as well as the proteins or polypeptides themselves.
An isolated β-actin nucleic acid promoter molecule from shrimp having a nucleotide sequence comprising one or more (GC)n-rich regions.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding β-actin from shrimp, wherein the nucleic acid molecule either 1) has a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
An isolated shrimp β-actin protein or polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
An isolated actin nucleic acid promoter molecule from shrimp having a nucleotide sequence comprising (CATA)-rich repeats and (CACA)-rich repeats.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding actin from shrimp, wherein the nucleic acid molecule either 1) has a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
An isolated shrimp actin protein or polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
