Dictionary » P » Promoter regions Promoter regionspromoter regions (Science: genetics) dNA sequences which are recognised (directly or indirectly) and bound by a dNA-dependent rNA polymerase during the initiation of transcription. Highly conserved sequences within the promoter include the pribnow box in bacteria and the tata box in eukaryotes. ![]()

Results from our forumA question from Cloning... you stick to transfering genes of know function into appropriate promoter regions and see what happens ;)

Promoter RegionHey, anyone mind helping in this question. Promoter regions are usually high in adenine and thymine. Explain how this helps intiate transcription.

Re: Can anyone help with this RNA question... why are there Ts in the sequence? This is supposed to represent the promoter region maybe? The promoter isn’t transcribed into message. It lays ... not the same thing as the translational start site. Bacterial promoter regions are generally composed of two very roughly conserved features. The ...

Recent discovery in stem cell research.... the fact that in adult organisms vast majority of the genes and promoter regions are switched off or downregulated, and the genes that are active is a completely different ...

transcriptional cascade... are, but you could try inserting sequences associated with the upstream regions of genes known to be transcriptionally inactive in the cells you ... spontaneously switch between them. You might look at hormone-sensitive promoters. There is reported to be a sequence of the parathyroid hormone ...
