Abstract excerpt
The promoter architecture of the nuclear-encoded photosystem I genes was studied using a tobacco gene, psaDb, as a model case. Linker scanning mutations revealed that the psaDb promoter does not have a TATA box. Instead, pyrimidine-rich Initiator (Inr) elements that overlap the transcription start sites are essential for light-responsive transcription of this gene. When the psaDb promoter was mutated to have a...
