Footprinting data for 33 open promoter complexes with Escherichia coli RNA polymerase, as well as 17 ternary complexes with different regulators, have been compiled using a computer program FUTPR. The typical and individual properties of their structural organization are analyzed. Promoters are subgrouped according to the extent of the polymerase contact area. A set of alternative sequence elements that could be responsible for RNA polymerase attachment in different promoter groups is suggested on the basis of their sequence homology near the hyperreactive sites. The model of alternative pathways used for promoter activation is discussed.
利用计算机程序FUTPR汇编了33个大肠杆菌RNA聚合酶开放启动子复合物以及17个与不同调节因子的三元复合物的足迹数据。分析了它们结构组织的典型和个体特性。启动子根据聚合酶接触区域的范围进行分组。基于它们在高反应性位点附近的序列同源性,提出了一组可能负责不同启动子组中RNA聚合酶附着的替代序列元件。讨论了用于启动子激活的替代途径模型。
