Abstract excerpt
We screened a collection of single alanine residue substitution mutants spanning the entire C-terminal domain of the alpha subunit (alphaCTD) of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) for defects in rho-dependent transcription termination at lambdatR1 in vivo and in vitro, and thereby identified a patch of amino acid residues in the alphaCTD required for efficient rho-dependent termination. NusA addition led to...
