Abstract excerpt
The beta subunit of prokaryotic RNA polymerase shares significant sequence similarity with its eukaryotic and archaeal counterparts across most of the protein. Nine segments of particularly high similarity have been identified and are termed segments A through I. We have isolated severely defective Escherichia coli RNA polymerase mutants, most of which are unable to support bacterial growth. The majority of the...
