A series of promoter hybrids has been constructed by exchanging the − 35 and − 10 regions oflacUV5,tet, andtrppromoters. These three promoters and the six hybrid promoters constructed from them have been inserted into a pKO plasmid which places galactokinase expression under the control of the inserted promoter. Additionally, promoter mutants were prepared which had altered the spacing between the − 35 and − 10 regions of the promoter. Derivatives of thetetpromoter with one or two extra base pairs in this spacer region and constructions of thelac::tethybrid promoter with two different spacings have been inserted into the galactokinase expression plasmid. Measurements of galactokinase levels in strains harboring these plasmids permited the comparison of in vivo activities of the promoters. The strongest of the hybrid promoters (order: − 35, − 10) weretrp::lacandtrp::tetsuggesting a high efficiency for the − 35 region of thetrppromoter. The weakest promoters weretet::trp,lac::trpandlac::tetindicating a weak − 10 region for thetrppromoter and the importance of − 35 to − 10 spacing. Analysis of activity of related promoters with differences in spacing indicated that a distance of 19 bp yields a very weak promoter, and that 18 bp is less active than the 17-bp spacing, which is the most frequently found spacing in promoters.
