We succeeded in identifying a promoter element within 200 base pairs upstream a transcriptional unit comprising only a 23S rRNA, 5S rRNA and a tRNA(gly) gene in Thermus thermophilus HB8 [1, 2]. This e...
The large plastid ATP synthase operon of the multicellular red alga Antithamnion sp. was cloned and the sequence of six ATPase genes determined. The operon resembles more the one from cyanobacteria th...
We have determined the DNA sequence of a 1250 base pair segment of the Escherichia coli chromosome that carries the promoter for the S10 ribosomal protein operon, the S10 gene and part of the L3 gene....
Post-transcriptional control mechanisms assume special significance in polycistronic operons. Differential gene expression in the atp operon of Escherichia coli is primarily attributable to translatio...
