To test the promoter activities, the putative promoter regions were inserted into pGL4.10 (Promega) digested with KpnI and EcoRV through In-fusion cloning system (Takara), except for the promoter region of FADS1 which was constructed by T4 DNA ligation (New England Biolabs). Putative enhancer regions were inserted into pGL4.23 (Promega) digested with KpnI and EcoRV through In-fusion cloning system (Takara). A three fragments In-fusion cloning system with mutations introduced through primer sequences was used to introduce desired mutations into luciferase constructs. The detailed primer information and cloning method for each construct is listed in Table S8. All the resulting plasmids were verified by Sanger sequencing.
