A base pair transition in a DNA sequence with dyad symmetry upstream of the puf promoter affects transcription of the puc operon in Rhodobacter capsulatus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 1991

Klug G, Jock S

Abstract excerpt

A DNA sequence with dyad symmetry upstream of the transcriptional start of the Rhodobacter capsulatus puf operon, which encodes pigment-binding proteins of the light-harvesting I complex and of the reaction center, has previously been shown to be a protein-binding site (G. Klug, Mol. Gen. Genet. 226:167-176, 1991). When a low-copy-number plasmid with a base pair transition at position -43 within this dyad...
