prokaryotic_promoter

SO:0002222

Definition: A regulatory_region essential for the specific initiation of transcription at a defined location in a DNA molecule, although this location might not be one single base. It is recognized by a specific RNA polymerase(RNAP)-holoenzyme, and this recognition is not necessarily autonomous.

Change history

This timeline summarizes changes identified in SO’s GitHub commit history, including updates to labels, definitions, parent terms, synonyms, subsets, and obsoletion status. It is a best-effort reconstruction and may not include every change to a term. Since only history from GitHub is included at the moment, any term added before the migration from SVN to Git will show as being created in 2016. This will be addressed once SVN history is incorporated.

Before: A regulatory_region including the Transcription Start Site (TSS) of a gene. This is the region is recognized and bound by the RNA polymerase(RNAP)-holoenzyme, enabling transcription of a gene under certain conditions.
After: A regulatory_region essential for the specific initiation of transcription at a defined location in a DNA molecule, although this location might not be one single base. It is recognized by a specific RNA polymerase(RNAP)-holoenzyme, and this recognition is not necessarily autonomous.
