Abstract excerpt
The core enzyme of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase acquires essential promoter recognition and transcription initiation activities by binding one of several sigma subunits. To characterize the proximity between sigma70, the major sigma for transcription of the growth-related genes, and the core enzyme subunits (alpha2 beta beta'), we analyzed the protein-cutting patterns produced by a set of covalently tethered...
