Transcription regulatory elements in the late region of bacteriophage T5 DNA.

Abstract

Transcription promoters and terminators have been cloned from the late region of bacteriophage T5 DNA and their strengths determined in vivo in plasmid derivatives. DNA sequence analysis shows these transcription signals to be remarkable in that, in all four cases studied in detail, the promoters and terminators overlapped or were very close together.
