What does it mean to say that the most common type of promoter in E. coli is bipartite?

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
  1. The promoter region is divided into two parts which flank the sequence for the gene.

  2. There are two separate regions of sequence similarity in the promoter.

  3. The sequence of the promoter has dyad symmetry.

  4. The promoter must bind two RNA polymerase holoenzymes to transcribe the gene.
