A. Brans et al., USE OF AN AUTOMATIC DNA SEQUENCER FOR S1 MAPPING - TRANSCRIPTIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE STREPTOMYCES-COELICOLOR A3(2) DNAK OPERON, FEMS microbiology letters, 149(2), 1997, pp. 189-194
The transcription start point of the dnaK operon of Streptomyces coeli
color A3(2) has been determined by SI mapping, using the EMBL automate
d fluorescent DNA sequencer. The -35 and -10 hexamers correspond to a
sigma(70)-type promoter. This promoter responds to heat shock and invo
lves an inverted repeat different from the CIRCE sequence characterist
ic of the Gram-positive heat-shock promoters.
