A SH=hort nucleotid esequence in the promoter 25 to 35 bp
upstream to the transcription initiation site of eukaryotic genes
to which polymerase binds is called TATA BOX. IT IS CALLED AS
PRIBNO BOX IN CASE OF PROKARYOTES and called as HOGNESS BOX in case
of EUKARYOTES..
It has conserved squence of tataata
(I am a ifferent person) As far as I know, TATA box is located
only in eukaryotic genes and genes of archae. It is on -25 position
from the transcription initiation site. Also, it is TATAAA sequence
with small variations (more A can be added). It's also called
Goldberg-Hogness box.
In contrast, in prokaryots, this sequence is called Pribnow box.
Its location is at -10. It consists of TATAAT sequence with small
variations.
