Abstract excerpt
We have examined the role of the TATA box in determining transcription initiation frequency in vitro by studying a collection of promoters containing different TATA sequences in the context of the adenovirus major late promoter. In addition to measuring transcription rates, we have determined how the sequence changes affected the association and dissociation kinetics and the affinity of TBP binding. We observed...
