Abstract excerpt
Transcription factor Rho of Eschericia coli is a ring-shaped homohexameric protein that terminates transcripts by its action on nascent RNAs. To test the functional importance of the phylogenetically highly conserved residues of the Q-loop region, four mutant Rho proteins, S281A, K283A, T286A and D290A, were isolated and analyzed for their biochemical properties. All four proteins were very defective in...
