Abstract

Authors have verified previously advanced hypothesis that the oligoribonucleotides selectively bound by the E. coli (T7 and T3) RNA polymerase mimick the promoter regions of DNA. It is shown that oligoribonucleotides homologous to the «–10» region of the promoter of the nontranscribed DNA strand are not bound by E. coli RNA polymerase and mimick the other specific signals.
