Abstract

Using mouse ribosomal DNA templates bearing polymerase I terminators to prevent transcriptional interference (S. L. Henderson, K. Ryan, and B. Sollner-Webb, Genes Dev. 3:212-223, 1989) and facilitate promoter analysis in intact cells, we demonstrate that a -140 promoter domain (as well as the core region) is essential for appreciable levels of initiation in vivo. This in vivo polymerase I promoter can also be detected in vitro but only under very stringent conditions.
