Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) is a multisubunit protein complex containing the smallest subunit, ω. Despite the evolutionary conservation of ω and its role in assembly of RNAP, E. coli mutants lacking rpoZ (codes for ω) are viable due to the association of RNAP with the global chaperone protein GroEL. With an aim to get better insight into the structure and functional role of ω, we isolated a...
