Abstract excerpt
Rho factor is an essential protein that causes termination of transcription in a wide variety of bacteria by an RNA-dependent helicase activity. Rho is activated by transcripts that contain a high proportion of cytidine residues. The interaction between Rho and two adjacent cytidine residues within the bound RNA has been identified by previous crystallographic studies (Skordalakes, E., and Berger, J. M. (2003)...
