Abstract excerpt
Transcription termination factor Rho is an ATP-dependent ring-shaped molecular motor that tracks along RNA to dissociate RNA-DNA duplexes and transcription complexes in its path. The Rho hexamer contains two distinct sites for interaction with RNA. The primary binding site is composed of pyrimidine-specific binding clefts that are located in the N-terminal domains and anchor Rho to transcripts at C-rich Rut (Rho...
