<title>Prokaryotic Promoters</title>
<para id="fs-id1236812">A <term id="term-00008">promoter</term> is a DNA sequence onto which the transcription machinery, including RNA polymerase, binds and initiates transcription. In most cases, promoters exist upstream of the genes they regulate. The specific sequence of a promoter is very important because it determines whether the corresponding gene is transcribed all the time, some of the time, or infrequently. Although promoters vary among prokaryotic genomes, a few elements are evolutionarily conserved in many species. At the -10 and -35 regions upstream of the initiation site, there are two <emphasis effect="italics">promoter consensus sequences</emphasis>, or regions that are similar across all promoters and across various bacterial species (<link target-id="fig-ch15_02_01"/>). The -10 sequence, called the -10 region, has the consensus sequence TATAAT. The -35 sequence has the consensus sequence TTGACA. These consensus sequences are recognized and bound by <emphasis effect="italics">σ</emphasis>. Once this interaction is made, the subunits of the core enzyme bind to the site. The A–T-rich -10 region facilitates unwinding of the DNA template, and several phosphodiester bonds are made.
