The promoter resembles a eukaryotic one, though much simplified. It contains BRE and TATA elements and are recognized by TFB and TBP. [3] Promoters represent critical elements that can work in concert with other regulatory regions (enhancers, silencers, boundary elements/insulators) to direct the level of transcription of a given gene. A ...
Promoter activity of the P-RM and P-R promoters vs RNA polymerase concentration in the enterobacteriophage lambda [1]. Promoter activity is a term that encompasses several meanings around the process of gene expression from regulatory sequences —promoters [2] and enhancers. [3]
The tac promoter consists of the '–35' region of the trp promoter and the '–10' region of the lac promoter (and differs from a related trc promoter by 1 bp [3]). The tac promoter is, therefore, inducible by IPTG (Isopropyl β- D -1-thiogalactopyranoside), whilst also allowing higher maximum gene expression than either the lac or trp promoters.
The lacUV5 promoter is a mutated promoter from the Escherichia coli lac operon which is used in molecular biology to drive gene expression on a plasmid. lacUV5 is very similar to the classical lac promoter, containing just 2 base pair mutations in the -10 hexamer region, compared to the lac promoter.

Soon, the lab was able to clone the T7 RNA polymerase and use it, along with the powerful T7 promoter, to transcribe copious amounts of almost any gene. [4] The development of the T7 expression system has been considered the most successful biotechnology developed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, being licensed by over 900 companies which ...
Promoter or Promotor may refer to: Arts and entertainment. The Card, released in America as The Promoter; The Promoter, a documentary film; Professions. Promoter ...
In Drosophila, less than 40% of 205 core promoters contain a TATA box. [8] When there is an absence of the TATA box and TBP is not present, the downstream promoter element (DPE) in cooperation with the initiator element (Inr) bind to the transcription factor II D , initiating transcription in TATA
Activator-binding sites may be located very close to the promoter or numerous base pairs away. [2] [3] If the regulatory sequence is located far away, the DNA will loop over itself (DNA looping) in order for the bound activator to interact with the transcription machinery at the promoter site.
