Abstract excerpt
RNA polymerase is a central macromolecular machine controlling the flow of information from genotype to phenotype, and insights into global transcriptional regulation can be gained by studying mutational perturbations in the enzyme. Mutations in the RNA polymerase beta subunit gene rpoB causing resistance to rifampin (Rif(r)) in Bacillus subtilis were previously shown to lead to alterations in the expression of a...
