Abstract excerpt
The function of transcription termination factor Rho from Escherichia coli is dependent upon its ability to bind to specific sites on nascent RNA molecules. The roles of 19 individual amino acid residues (Ile49 to Ser67) in and near a phylogenetically conserved sequence segment of Rho that is similar to the RNP1 motif found in many RNA-binding proteins were examined by testing the phenotypic consequences of...
