Abstract excerpt
The promoter of the Escherichia coli udp gene contains the poly-T (5'-TTTTT-3') motif in the transcription start region located at the distance of 3 nucleotides with respect to the Pribnow box. By means of site-directed mutagenesis, mutations in the +1, -1, and +3 positions of this region were isolated and their functional role in transcription initiation was determined. It was shown that in addition to the...
