Abstract excerpt
The hallmark features of rho-independent transcription terminators are a G(+)C-rich dyad symmetry sequence followed by a run of T residues on a sense strand. Both of these structural elements are required for efficient transcription termination. Besides its primary function, rho-independent terminators are also known to enhance expression of an upstream gene by stabilizing RNA in a few cases. The Escherichia coli...
