Abstract excerpt

A core promoter element called an initiator (Inr) overlaps the transcription start site of numerous mammalian protein-coding genes. In promoters that lack a TATA box, the Inr is functionally analogous to TATA, in that it is capable of directing basal transcription by RNA polymerase II and of dete...
