Generality of a functional initiator consensus sequence.

Gene - 5 Dec 1996

Lo K, Smale S T

Abstract excerpt

Transcriptional initiator (Inr) elements, like TATA boxes, are found in the core promoters of many eukaryotic protein-coding genes. To facilitate the dissection of transcription initiation mechanisms, and to identify Inr elements within known and newly-discovered genes, the precise DNA sequence requirements for Inr activity must be defined. Previously, we reported a preliminary Inr consensus sequence based on an...
