The β-lactamase promoter of pBR322, derived from Tn3, has been characterized using several techniques. The transcription initiation site islocated 35 base pairs from the translation initiation codon of β-lactamase. The mRNA producedin vitrohas a 51 pppGpA terminus. RNA polymerase bound at this start site protects a region from about −50 to +20 from DNA ase I cleavage using the foot printing technique. RNA polymerase binds rapidly to the (β-lactamase promoter. The half-time of association is less than one-half minute. The half-time of dissociation is approximately 6 hr. A study of the binding of RNA polymerase at different temperatures showed a large change between 11° and 15°C. Comparison of these parameters with those reported for other promoters is discussed.
