Characterization of Transcription from TATA-Less Promoters: Identification of a New Core Promoter Element XCPE2 and Analysis of Factor Requirements
31 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: More than 80% of mammalian protein-coding genes are driven by TATA-less promoters which often show multiple transcriptional start sites (TSSs). However, little is known about the core promoter DNA sequences or mechanisms of transcriptional initiation for this class of promoters. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here we identify a new core promoter element XCPE2 (X core promoter element 2) (consensus...
