The role of an upstream promoter interaction in initiation of bacterial transcription.

The EMBO journal - 19 Apr 2006

Nechaev Sergei, Geiduschek E Peter

Abstract excerpt

The bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) recognizes promoters through sequence-specific contacts of its promoter-specificity components (sigma) with two DNA sequence motifs. Contacts with the upstream ('-35') promoter motif are made by sigma domain 4 attached to the flap domain of the RNAP beta subunit. Bacteriophage T4 late promoters consist solely of an extended downstream ('-10') motif specifically recognized by...
