Abstract excerpt
This work describes a mutational analysis of the interaction between the beta and sigma subunits of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. The rpoD800 mutant has a temperature-sensitive growth phenotype because the mutant sigma70 polypeptide is not stable at a high temperature. Some rpoB mutations, including rpoB114, enhanced the temperature sensitivity of the rpoD800 mutant. We determined the mechanism by which the...
