Abstract excerpt
The N-terminal arginine-rich motif of phage HK022 Nun protein binds to NUT sequences in phage lambda nascent transcripts and induces transcription termination. Interactions between the Nun C terminus and RNA polymerase as well as the DNA template are required for termination. We have isolated Nun C-terminal point and deletion mutants that are unable to block transcription. The mutants bind NUT RNA and inhibit...
