Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is elongated twice as fast as mRNA in vivo due to the presence of antitermination sequences in the 5' part of the rRNA transcripts. A number of Nus factors bind to RNA polymerase at the antitermination sites and help confer resistance to Rho-dependent termination of transcription. In this paper, the effects of the nusAcs10 allele on the elongation rate of both mRNA and antiterminated RNA were...
