Amino acid residues in the alpha-subunit C-terminal domain of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase involved in activation of transcription from the mtr promoter.

Abstract excerpt

To examine the role of the amino acid residues (between positions 258 and 275 and positions 297 and 298) of the alpha-subunit of RNA polymerase in TyrR-mediated activation of the mtr promoter, we have carried out in vitro transcription experiments using a set of mutant RNA polymerases with a supercoiled mtr template. Decreases in factor-independent transcription in vitro by mutant RNA polymerases L262A, R265A,...
