Abstract excerpt
Transcription initiation by the sigma(54) RNA polymerase requires specialised activators and their associated nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis. To explore the roles of sigma(54) in initiation we used random mutagenesis of rpoN and an in vivo activity screen to isolate functionally altered sigma(54) proteins. Five defective mutants, each with a different single amino acid substitution, were obtained. Three...
