Determination of common structural features in Escherichia coli promoters by computer analysis.

European journal of biochemistry - 1 Aug 1994

Lisser S, Margalit H

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli promoters show a large degree of sequence variation. However, they are all recognized specifically by RNA polymerase as the sites for transcription initiation, suggesting that they share common basic structural features distinguishing them from the rest of the sequence. Our hypot...
