Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional activator RbpA associates with Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNA polymerase (MtbRNAP) during transcription initiation, and stimulates formation of the MtbRNAP-promoter open complex (RPo). Here, we explored the influence of promoter motifs on RbpA-mediated activation of MtbRNAP containing the stress-response σB subunit. We show that both the 'extended -10' promoter motif (T-17G-16T-15G-14) and...
