Abstract excerpt
We have examined the termination efficiency of T7 and T3 RNA polymerases (RNAPs) at a variety of termination signals. In agreement with previous investigators we find that termination occurs after the synthesis of an RNA product with a stable secondary structure followed by a run of U residues. Stem-loop structures that lack a 3' U-tract fail to terminate the phage enzyme. The distance (or the sequence) between...
