Design Notes
The observed UP elements were A-T rich. Therefore, the rational sequence modifications of Design 1 were made to preserve this feature. Nucleotides in Design 1 at positions -54 and -45 were changed from A to T and C to G, respectively. A spacer, CT, is placed between the UP element and subsequent promoters to maintain proper alignment with RNAP.
