title: An upstream signal is required for in vitro transcription of Neurospora 5S RNA genes.
abstract: The DNA sequences upstream of the 5S RNA genes in Neurospora crassa are largely different from one another, but share a short consensus sequence located in the segment 29 to 26 nucleotides preceding the transcribed region. Differences among flanking sequences do not appear to affect transcription. Deletion analysis indicates, however, that a DNA segment including the conserved "TATA box" is required for in vitro transcription of Neurospora 5S RNA genes.
