Abstract excerpt
To further understand the mechanism of promoter escape by RNA polymerase II, we have systematically investigated the effect of core promoter sequence on the rate of transcript synthesis in vitro. Chimeric and mutant promoters were made by swapping sequences between the human interleukin-2 promoter and the adenovirus major late promoter, which exhibit different rates of transcript synthesis. Kinetic studies at...
