Abstract excerpt
NusA and Rho are essential Escherichia coli proteins that influence transcription elongation and termination. We show that an E. coli derivative unable to express NusA, because its sole nusA gene contains a large deletion/substitution, is viable providing that the bacterium also carries a rho mut...
