The phage SPO1-specific RNA polymerase, E.gp28, recognizes its cognate promoters in thymine-containing DNA. 1986

J M Romeo, and J R Greene, and S H Richards, and E P Geiduschek

The bacteriophage SPO1 gene 28-encoded protein, gp28, directs specific recognition of viral middle promoters in hydroxymethyluracil-containing DNA by the Bacillus subtilis host's RNA polymerase core. Using appropriately sensitive methods of detection, we have shown that discrimination against thymine-containing DNA is not absolute and that the gp28-containing RNA polymerase precisely initiates transcription at two thymine-containing SPO1 middle promoters.

D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D011401 Promoter Regions, Genetic DNA sequences which are recognized (directly or indirectly) and bound by a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase during the initiation of transcription.

D012321 DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases Enzymes that catalyze DNA template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand one nucleotide at a time. They can initiate a chain de novo. In eukaryotes, three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to alpha-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992).
