Essential structure of E. coli promoter: effect of spacer length between the two consensus sequences on promoter function.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A promoter with the consensus sequence(TTGACA and TATAAT) at -35 and -10 regions was constructed, and the distance between the two consensus sequences was independently altered at two restriction sites. In an in vitro transcription system, a maximum activity was observed at the spacer length of 17 base-pairs regardless of the sites of space adjustment. Evidence was also provided that the start point of transcription was fixed by the consensus sequence at the -10 region.

Mutational analysis of the ompA promoter from Flavobacterium johnsoniae.
Sequences that mediate the initiation of transcription in Flavobacterium species are not well known. The majority of identified Flavobacterium promoter elements show homology to those of other members of the phylum Bacteroidetes, but not of proteobacteria, and they function poorly in Escherichia coli. In order to analyze the Flavobacterium promoter structure systematically, we investigated the ...
متن کاملConstruction and model-based analysis of a promoter library for E. coli: an indispensable tool for metabolic engineering
BACKGROUND Nowadays, the focus in metabolic engineering research is shifting from massive overexpression and inactivation of genes towards the model-based fine tuning of gene expression. In this context, the construction of a library of synthetic promoters of Escherichia coli as a useful tool for fine tuning gene expression is discussed here. RESULTS A degenerated oligonucleotide sequence tha...
متن کاملEssential structure of E. coli promoter II. Effect of the sequences around the RNA start point on promoter function.
Starting from a synthetic E. coli promoter with the consensus sequences at -35 and -10 regions, a sequence CAT frequently occurred in the RNA start points of natural promoters was introduced in the downstream of the consensus sequences, and the sequences around the RNA start points as well as the relative positions of CAT from the consensus sequences were altered. Analysis of the RNA start poin...
متن کاملMutational analysis of the promoter recognized by Chlamydia and Escherichia coli sigma(28) RNA polymerase.
sigma(28) RNA polymerase is an alternative RNA polymerase that has been postulated to have a role in developmental gene regulation in Chlamydia. Although a consensus bacterial sigma(28) promoter sequence has been proposed, it is based on a relatively small number of defined promoters, and the promoter structure has not been systematically analyzed. To evaluate the sequence of the sigma(28)-depe...
متن کاملComparison of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Escherichia coli 16S rRNA gene expression signals.
There are barriers to cross-expression of genes between Bacteroides spp. and Escherichia coli. In this study, a lux-based reporter system was developed for Bacteroides and used to compare the promoter structure and function of a Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron 4001 (BT4001) 16S rRNA promoter with those of E. coli in vivo. Analysis of the BT4001 sequences upstream of the 16S rRNA gene revealed the ...
