Features of the DNA template used in this work. Plasmid pSRTB1 contains a T7A1 promoter (bent arrow) upstream of a TFO-binding site (filled rectangle). RNAP initiating transcription from the T7A1 promoter can be stalled at +20 by omission of UTP from the transcription reactions. The inset shows the sequence of the DNA surrounding the TFO-binding site, with the TFO-binding site underlined. The TFO (bold type) binds in the major groove of DNA by forming Hoogsteen base pairs to a specific sequence within the transcribed strand. In TFO displacement reactions, the 5′ end of the TFO was labelled with 32P (*). The position of the restriction sites used to make linearized template (ClaI and AlwNI) are shown. The ClaI site is adjacent to the TFO-binding site and is shown in italics. The distances from the centre of the AlwNI site to the ends of the TFO-binding site are given in bp.
