摘要：

Appropriately phased DNA bending sequences replacing the CAP binding site upstream from the lac promoter increase by roughly tenfold the rate of specific transcription initiation from a superhelical promoter template in vitro; promoter occlusion results from polymerase binding to the upstream (dA)n · (dT)n tracts, but this phenomenon is not responsible for the observed phase-dependent transcriptional activity. The rates of open complex formation at both P1 and P2 promoters respond in a similar phase-dependent way to the synthetic curved DNA sequences. © 1991.
