To examine the effect of altering the nucleotide sequence near the promoter on its activity, pKO-1 vector derivatives have been constructed which allow insertion of DNA fragments at specified sites upstream or downstream from the trp promoter. Oligonucleotides that might be expected to alter the melting properties, or have a tendency to form a distinctive nonstandard structure were introduced. These oligonucleotides had the repeating dinucleotide sequences GC, AT or AG. Sequence analysis of the inserts and studies of the relative galactokinase expression from the altered plasmids indicated that changes upstream from the trp promoter at -39 or beyond had little effect on trp promoter activity, whereas changes at +2 or farther downstream produced up to two-fold increases in gene expression, as compared to the control plasmid.
