Abstract
Some promoters for E. coli RNA polymerase contain either of two nucleotide sequences recognised by Hind endonucleases, GTCGAC or GTTAAC. Such promoters are found not only in the DNA of bacteriophages (λ and T7) but also in that of mammalian viruses, including the simian virus 40 and the human adenovirus 2.
