Promoters location

Translation Initiation Site. In eukaryotes, if the transcription start site is known, and there is no intron interrupting the 5 UTR, Kozak s rule (Kozak, 1996) probably will locate the correct initiation codon in most cases. Splicing is normally absent in prokaryotes, yet because of the existence of multicitronic operons, promoter location is not the key information. Rather, the key is reliable localization of the ribosome binding site. The TATA sequence about 30 bp from the transcription start site may be used as a possible resource.

Zhang et al. [89] showed also that titania particles can be used for the coating process. These authors prepared hybrid microballs with polystyrene cores coated by titania nanoparticles. Acrylic acid was used as a comonomer in order to promote locating titania nanoparticles on the polymer s surface. The morphology of hybrid particles was examined using TEM, while the infra-red spectra of hybrid nanoparticles showed there to be an interaction between titania nanoparticles and the polymer shell.

Plasmid vectors are composed of multiple elements as shown in Figure 3.1. These components typically include a strong promoter located upstream of the 5 ATG start codon for the DNA coding for a foreign gene of interest and a polyadenylation sequence (poly A tail) located downstream Irom the 3 stop codon... 

Promoter Location. It might be expected that promotion of supported catalysts would be difficult because the promoter localizes on the support. However, ESCA studies have shown that, in the case of silica-supported ruthenium promoted with alkali carbonates, the promoter preferentially associates with the ruthenium. Conversely, the high heat of adsorption of the alkali on carbon supports (up to 450 kJ moP leads to preferential association of the alkali with the carbon. 

While both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes are regulated by activators and repressors, enhancer elements are unique to eukaryotic genes and can profoundly increase the rate of transcription. These elements are located at a variable distance from the basic promoter itself, can be present both upstream or downstream to the promoter, and, in fact, can even be within the transcription unit. One unexpected feature is that they can function in either orientation and can activate any promoter located in the vicinity. 

Depending on the termini structure of the DNA template and the 3-end structure of the RNA, the runoff transcriptions may produce significant levels of dsRNA by-products (23,27). The dsRNA products behave as the slow migrating component in a nondenaturing PAGE, and can thus be readily distinguished from the ssRNA transcripts. Other by-products may also be generated from cryptic promoters located on the plasmid DNA.
