Nucleotide Sequence in the Promoter Region of the Escherichia coli Tyrosine tRNA Gene*

Takao Sekiya 1,2, H Gobind Khorana 1,2
PMCID: PMC388602  PMID: 4606851

Abstract

The sequence of 29 nucleotides immediately preceding the starting point of transcription of the E. coli tyrosine tRNA gene has been determined. This is: [Formula: see text] The sequence contains regions of 2-fold symmetry. Transcription of the gene begins at the first nucleotide to the left of nucleotide 1 and is leftward.

Keywords: tRNA precursor, initiation of transcription, primer elongation, DNA polymerase-I, 2-fold symmetry
