Abstract excerpt
The bacterial transcription-repair coupling factor, Mfd, is a superfamily II helicase that releases transcription elongation complexes stalled by DNA damage or other obstacles. Transcription complex displacement is an ATP-dependent reaction that is thought to involve DNA translocation without the strand separation associated with classical helicase activity. We have identified single amino acid substitutions...
