Genetic analysis of bacteriophage lambdaN-dependent antitermination suggests a possible role for the RNA polymerase alpha subunit in facilitating specific functions of NusA and NusE.

Abstract excerpt

A role for the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase alpha subunit in transcription antitermination dependent on bacteriophage lambda N protein has been previously inferred from the isolation of rpoA mutants that alter the efficiency of this process. This report describes studies on the efficiency of N-dependent transcription antitermination in a strain containing the rpoA341 mutation, which interferes with this...
