Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It lies about 40 bp [base pairs] upstream from the TATA box. Deletion mapping experiments show that this region controls the frequency of initiation by RNA polymerase II. In its absence, initiation at the usual startpoint is reduced to 2% of the previous level. 4, record 1, English, - CAAT%20box
