Escherichia coli promoters with UP elements of different strengths: modular structure of bacterial promoters.
The alpha subunit of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) participates in promoter recognition through specific interactions with UP element DNA, a region upstream of the recognition hexamers for the sigma subunit (the -10 and -35 hexamers). UP elements have been described in only a small number of promoters, including the rRNA promoter rrnB P1, where the sequence has a very large (30- to 70-...
متن کاملAnatomy of Escherichia coli σ70 promoters
Information theory was used to build a promoter model that accounts for the -10, the -35 and the uncertainty of the gap between them on a common scale. Helical face assignment indicated that base -7, rather than -11, of the -10 may be flipping to initiate transcription. We found that the sequence conservation of sigma70 binding sites is 6.5 +/- 0.1 bits. Some promoters lack a -35 region, but ha...
متن کاملAnatomy of Escherichia coli σ promoters
Information theory was used to build a promoter model that accounts for the −10, the −35 and the uncertainty of the gap between them on a common scale. Helical face assignment indicated that base −7, rather than −11, of the −10 may be flipping to initiate transcription. We found that the sequence conservation of σ binding sites is 6.5± 0.1 bits. Some promoters lack a −35 region, but have a 6.7 ...
متن کاملThiol-sensitive promoters of Escherichia coli.
Mu dX(lac) insertion mutants of Escherichia coli CSH50 in which the expression of the lacZ gene was sensitive to the presence of exogenous 1-thioglycerol or dithiothreitol were isolated. Both stimulatory and inhibitory mutants were found. The existence of several thiol-sensitive promoters suggests that exogenous thiols may provoke global stress responses in E. coli.
متن کاملEscherichia coli promoters: neural networks develop distinct descriptions in learning to search for promoters of different spacing classes
Back-propagation neural networks were trained to recognize promoter sequences of each of the three major spacing classes found in E. coli. These networks were trained with the object of maximizing their ability to generalize while maintaining the level of false positive identifications at a fraction of 1 percent. These objectives were generally met. Networks for the 16 base spacing class captur...
