Abstract excerpt
A plasmid was constructed that overproduces the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase beta subunit from a lac promoter-rpoB fusion. The overproduced, plasmid-encoded beta subunit assembled into functional RNA polymerase that supplied greater than 90% of the transcriptional capacity of the cells. Excess beta subunit segregated into insoluble inclusion bodies and was not deleterious to cell growth. By insertion of a XhoI...
