Reiterative copying by E.coli RNA polymerase during transcription initiation of mutant pBR322 tet promoters.

Abstract excerpt

The major in vitro transcripts from the tet promoter of pBR322 derivatives pTA22 and pTA33 have heterogeneous 5' ends consisting of variable lengths of oligo(A). Their structure is 5'pppAnU..., where n ranges from 1 to greater than 12, but the template strand can encode at most four A residues at the site of transcription initiation. The abundance of additional A residues at the 5' end of the pTA22 and pTA33 tet...
