Abstract excerpt
Transcription of bacteriophage T4 late genes requires concomitant DNA replication. T4 late promoters, which consist of a single 8-bp -10 motif, are recognized by a holoenzyme containing Escherichia coli RNA polymerase core and the T4-encoded promoter specificity subunit, gp55. Initiation of transcription at these promoters by gp55-holoenzyme is inefficient, but is greatly activated by the DNA-loaded DNA...
