Studies of low molecular weight RNA from cells infected with adenovirus 2. III. The sequence of the promoter for VA-RNA I
J. Pan, M. L. Celma and S. M. Weissman
VA-RNA I is one of the very few RNA species produced in animal cells whose
transcriptional initiation site is known precisely. We have analyzed the
nucleotide sequence of the DNA preceding the 5' end of VA-RNA I and
compared it with known prokaryotic promoters and presumptive eukaryotic
promoters.
