Hierarchies of base pair preferences in the P22 ant promoter
H Moyle et al. J Bacteriol. 1991 Mar.
Abstract
Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was used to complete a collection of mutations in the -35 and -10 hexamers of the ant promoter of Salmonella phage P22. The effects of all 36 single-base-pair substitutions on promoter strength in vivo were measured in strains carrying the mutant promoters fused to an ant-lacZ gene on a single-copy prophage. The results of these assays show that certain consensus base pairs are more important than others; in general, the least-critical positions are among the most poorly conserved. Some mutations within the hexamers have smaller effects on promoter strength than certain mutations outside the hexamers in this and other promoters. Several different patterns of base pair preferences are observed. These hierarchies of base pair preferences correlate well (but not perfectly) with the hierarchies defined by the frequency distribution of base pairs at each position among wild-type promoters. The hierarchies observed in the ant promoter also agree well with most of the available information on base pair preferences in other promoters.
