Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The initiation arrest at a modified lambdaPR promoter is caused by irreversible divergence of the reaction pathway into productive and arrested branches. Escherichia coli GreA and GreB induce cleavage of the nascent transcript and relieve arrest in elongation. They also reduce abortive synthesis at several promoters and relieve initiation arrest. Their mechanism of action during initiation, and its...
