Abstract excerpt
In higher plants the promoter elements of pol II- and pol III-transcribed U-snRNA genes are identical, comprising a -30 TATA box and an upstream sequence element, USE. The USE and TATA are centred approximately four and three helical DNA turns apart in pol II and pol III genes, respectively, and it is this difference in the element spacing that determines the RNA polymerase specificity of the gene. In this study...
