(7) Three E.coli promoters with the consensus sequences in the -35 and -10 regions and the 17 bp spacer made of random, heteronomous, and of both these classes of AT DNA simultaneously were constructed and cloned into plasmid pDS3.
(8) Extension experiments reveal that the alternate structure is also heteronomous, in agreement with the nicking patterns generated by S1 and mung bean nucleases and by venom phosphodiesterase.
(9) Until recently the heteronomous DNA described by Arnott et al., with the poly(dA) and poly(dT) chains in A and B conformations respectively, was the only detailed model of this structure.
(10) Three of the five hybrids (poly[r(A) X d(U)], poly[r(A) X d(T)], and poly[d(T) X r(A) X d(T)]) were found to have heteronomous conformations, while poly[r(U) X d(A) X r(U)] was found to be the most A-like and poly[r(T) X d(A) X r(T)], the least A-like.
(11) The B form of (GA)38 has a 10.4-base pair helical repeat, but the two phosphodiester backbones have different conformations (heteronomous DNA with a dinucleotide repeat unit).
(12) Electrophoretic gel mobilities of restriction fragments containing these promoters indicated that bending of the latter was proportional to the number of heteronomous AT DNA tracts.

Heteronomy
Definition:
(n.) Subordination or subjection to the law of another; political subjection of a community or state; -- opposed to autonomy.
(n.) A term applied by Kant to those laws which are imposed on us from without, or the violence done to us by our passions, wants, or desires.
