Abstract excerpt
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is often used as a genetic system to model processes that apply to higher cells. Here S.pombe was used to study promoter DNA opening and transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II. The melted region within the adh promoter is about 20 bp in size and has the start site near its center. This arrangement is similar to that at the AdML promoter but different from that in...
