Partie d’ADN située en direction 5’ du site considéré. Le point de référence est l’initiation de la transcription, la première base transcrite est désignée par +1, et les nucléotides en amont sont marqués par des signes moins; exemple: -1, -10. 2, record 1, French, - amont

Lors de l'initiation de la transcription, l'ARN-polymérase reconnaît des séquences particulières sur l'ADN bicaténaire, et s'y fixe. Ces séquences constituent les sites promoteurs. L'analyse de la séquence de nombreux promoteurs d'Escherichia coli a révélé l'existence de deux régions d'homologie, localisées à environ 10 et 35 paires de bases en amont du point d'initiation. 3, record 1, French, - amont
