Inhibition of T7 RNA polymerase by T7 lysozyme in vitro.
The in vivo observation that the expression of bacteriophage T7 gene 3.5 (T7 lysozyme) inactivates T7 class II transcription and the in vitro observation that T7 lysozyme inhibits T7 RNA polymerase lead to the hypothesis that T7 lysozyme might preferentially inhibit transcription from T7 class II promoters. T7 lysozyme was cloned into a lambda pL expression vector, overproduced in Escherichia c...
متن کاملThe structure of bacteriophage T7 lysozyme, a zinc amidase and an inhibitor of T7 RNA polymerase.
The lysozyme of bacteriophage T7 is a bifunctional protein that cuts amide bonds in the bacterial cell wall and binds to and inhibits transcription by T7 RNA polymerase. The structure of a mutant T7 lysozyme has been determined by x-ray crystallography and refined at 2.2-A resolution. The protein folds into an alpha/beta-sheet structure that has a prominent cleft. A zinc atom is located in the ...
متن کاملStructure of T7 RNA polymerase complexed to the transcriptional inhibitor T7 lysozyme.
The T7 RNA polymerase-T7 lysozyme complex regulates phage gene expression during infection of Escherichia coli. The 2.8 A crystal structure of the complex reveals that lysozyme binds at a site remote from the polymerase active site, suggesting an indirect mechanism of inhibition. Comparison of the T7 RNA polymerase structure with that of the homologous pol I family of DNA polymerases reveals id...
متن کاملRNA-binding site in T7 RNA polymerase.
Recent models of RNA polymerase transcription complexes have invoked the idea that enzyme-nascent RNA contacts contribute to the stability of the complexes. Although much progress on this topic has been made with the multisubunit Escherichia coli RNA polymerase, there is a paucity of information regarding the structure of single-subunit phage RNA polymerase transcription complexes. Here, we pho...
متن کاملPromoter specificity determinants of T7 RNA polymerase.
The high specificity of T7 RNA polymerase (RNAP) for its promoter sequence is mediated, in part, by a specificity loop (residues 742-773) that projects into the DNA binding cleft (1). Previous work demonstrated a role for the amino acid residue at position 748 (N748) in this loop in discrimination of the base pairs (bp) at positions -10 and -11 (2). A comparison of the sequences of other phage ...
