A SH=hort nucleotid esequence in the promoter 25 to 35 bp upstream to the transcription initiation site of eukaryotic genes to which polymerase binds is called TATA BOX. IT IS CALLED AS PRIBNO BOX IN CASE OF PROKARYOTES and called as HOGNESS BOX in case of EUKARYOTES..

It has conserved squence of tataata

(I am a ifferent person) As far as I know, TATA box is located only in eukaryotic genes and genes of archae. It is on -25 position from the transcription initiation site. Also, it is TATAAA sequence with small variations (more A can be added). It's also called Goldberg-Hogness box.

In contrast, in prokaryots, this sequence is called Pribnow box. Its location is at -10. It consists of TATAAT sequence with small variations.

The Pribnow box is a region within the promoter of bacterial genes where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription. In contrast, the Hogness box, also known as the TATA box, is a DNA sequence found in eukaryotic gene promoters that helps in positioning RNA polymerase for transcription initiation. Both boxes play key roles in gene expression but are found in different types of organisms.
