Abstract excerpt
The bacterial RNA polymerase holoenzyme containing the final sigma(54) subunit functions in enhancer-dependent transcription. Mutagenesis has been used to probe the function of a sequence in the final sigma(54) DNA binding domain that includes residues that cross-link to promoter DNA. Several activities of the final sigma and holoenzyme are shown to depend on the cross-linking patch. The patch contributes to...
