Sequence‐dependent structural properties of TATA‐containing and TATA‐less promoters of six eukaryotes. DNA duplex stability, DNase 1 sensitivity, Nucleosome positioning preference and curvature in promoter regions of S. cerevisiae, C. elegans, D. melanogaster, zebrafish, mouse, and human have been plotted. Structural profiles of TATA‐containing promoter regions are shown in green color while those for TATA‐less promoters are in black. The Y‐axes of DNase 1 sensitivity profiles are reversed for comparison with nucleosome positioning preference model. DNA duplex stability and intrinsic curvature show a significant difference in the two classes of promoters in all six systems.
