The Q758C mutant has previously been assayed for its activity at position -8 with different bases, and was shown to prefer G or A at -8 compared to the wild type promoter (-8T) [ 7 ] . This finding was further borne out in our experiments; the Q758C:GAC G polymerase:promoter combination yielded substantially more T7 RNA polymerase as judged by gel electrophoresis, than did Q758C:GACT (wt) (Figure 2a).
(As their role models Dunkling and Gosling prefer the popular actresses Susan Hayward, Susan Hampshire, and Susan Strasberg, while Hanks and Hodges instance no individual Susan at all, literary or otherwise.)

Well, somehow I suspect that the residents of Madrid and Atlanta, while they may regret some loss of tradition, prefer modernity.
The Q758C variant was frequently found adjacent to the wild-type T7 RNA polymerase promoter (GACT at positions -11 through -8) but was also found adjacent to a single mutant promoter (GAC G ), double mutant promoters (GA TA , G T C A ), a triple mutant promoter (G TTA ), and a promoter in which all the residues differed from wild-type ( TGTA ). Overall, the 'generalist' polymerase appeared to prefer mutant promoters that contained a T at position -9, and G or A at -8 positions.
