Transcription termination in the archaebacterium Sulfolobus: signal structures and linkage to transcription initiation

Wolf-Dieter Reiter, Peter Palm and Wolfram Zillig

Max-Planck-Institut für Biochemie D-8033 Martinsried, FRG

Received January 11, 1988. Accepted February 22, 1988.

The precise map positions were determined for the 3'-termini of five transcripts of the Sulfolobus virus-like particle SSV1. In all cases analyzed, these 3'-termini mapped immediately downstream of a sequence TTTTTYT which was part o a pyrimidine-rich region of 16–19 nucleotides length. No correlation was evident between the position of the 3'-termini and possible secondary structures within the RNA. In two cases, the 3'-termini of SSV1 transcripts mapped in the immediate vicinity of transcriptional initiation sites suggesting that transcription termination can be linked to the re-initiation of RNA synthesis.
