In order to study the expression in plants of the rolD promoter of Agrobacterium rhizogenes, we have constructed chimaeric genes placing the coding region of the gusA (uidA) marker gene under control ...
The nifJ and nifH promoters of Klebsiella pneumoniae are divergently transcribed sigma 54-dependent promoters that are positively activated by the NifA protein. NifA binds to upstream activator sequen...
A set of 18 variant lac UV5 promoters was constructed, each carrying a single base substitution within the -35 region (nucleotide positions from -36 to -31 relative to the transcription start site). U...
Archaea form a third domain of life that is distinct from Bacteria and Eukarya. According to the current knowledge, the basal transcription machinery of Archaea (including the core promoter architectu...
The phage T7 and SP6 RNA polymerase-promoter systems are very similar in many characteristics, but maintains stringent specificity for each. In order to identify the base pair element that distinguish...
A two-base-pair substitution in T7 promoter by SP6 promoter-specific base pairs alone abolishes T7 promoter activity but reveals SP6 promoter activity.

The 5'-untranslated region of the human prolactin receptor (hPRLR) gene contains two alternative first exons, hE1(3), the human counterpart of the rat and mouse E1(3) and a novel human type of alterna...
Variations in transgene expression due to position effect and copy number are normalized when analysing and comparing the strengths of different promoters. In such experiments, the promoter to be test...
