摘要: Abstract The bacteriophage P22 promoter for the antirepressor ( ant ) gene, P , in absence of Arc repressor, directs synthesis extremely high levels antirepressor. Overproduction leads secondarily to failure produce progeny phage upon lytic infection. A substantial fraction revertants arc -amber are pseudorevertants that have acquired additional mutations decrease activity promoter. DNA sequence analysis 72 independent "promoter-down" reveals more than 25 different alterations define two regions critical activity. With few exceptions, these promoter-down homology with consensus sequence, demonstrating conserved features among a large number wild-type promoters determinants strength. In general, substitution at same site within similar effects, resulting either severe or mild reduction
