Chez les procaryotes, la région du promoteur comporte environ 40 paires de bases, comprenant quelques bases hautement spécifiques situées entre 35 et 30 bases et entre 12 et 7 bases avant le début de la transcription. Chez les eucaryotes, la région du promoteur comporte plusieurs centaines de paires de bases précédant le début de la transcription, et on y trouve, pour presque tous les gènes, des séquences caractéristiques : boîte TATA, boîte CCAAT, boîte GC. Ces boîtes fixentspécifiquement certaines protéines appelées facteurs transrégulateurs. La boîte TATA, située à environ 25 bases du point de départ de la transcription, sertapparemment à fixer le complexe multiprotéique nécessaire à l'initiation de la transcription par la RNA-polymérase.

D'autres codent pour des protéines ubiquitaires, indispensables à la survie de chaque cellule, comme par exemple les gènes des enzymes de la glycolyse, de la respiration et des métabolismes intermédiaires. Ces gènes, appelés gènes domestiques, ont en commun une série de caractéristiques : un taux de transcription en général faible et continu, ce qui n’ exclut pas cependant une éventuelle régulation; l'absence de TATA box; une grande richesse en séquences CG hypo-méthylées.
