Transcription from the adenovirus major late promoter uses redundant activating elements.

Abstract excerpt

The adenovirus major late promoter (MLP) has been analyzed by constructing recombinant viral genomes containing mutations in possible promoter elements. Single base pair changes in the TATA box had no effect on viral replication, and MLP expression, as measured by the accumulation of late mRNAs, was at wild type levels. However, a double mutation in the TATA box reduced viral replication and MLP expression,...
