Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The multimeric DNA-dependent RNA polymerases are widespread throughout nature. The RNA polymerase of Escherichia coli, which is the most well characterized, consists of a holoenzyme with subunit stoichiometry of alpha2betabeta'sigma. The beta subunit is conserved and has been implicated in all stages of transcription. The extreme C-terminus of the beta subunit, which includes two well-conserved...
