Abstract
In order to characterize the tandem rrnB promoters transcribing one of the ribosomal RNA operons in E. coli we subcloned the basic promoter unit. This 185 bp fragment extends from -64 to +121 counted from the transcription start site of upstream promoter P1. The start site of downstream promoter P2 is also included in the promoter cartridge. S1 mapping experiments show that both promoters on this fragment are active in vivo. BAL-31 deletion mutations generated at the start site for promoter P2 were also tested by S1 mapping. Transcription from P2 remained active in all cases with the exception of one construction which lacks the -10 region. This demonstrates that the sequences downstream from the -10 region of P2 are not essential for basic promoter function.Keywords
