RNA Polymerase Pausing during Initial Transcription
In bacteria, RNA polymerase (RNAP) initiates transcription by synthesizing short transcripts that are either released or extended to allow RNAP to escape from the promoter. The mechanism of initial transcription is unclear due to the presence of transient intermediates and molecular heterogeneity. Here, we studied initial transcription on a lac promoter using single-molecule fluorescence observ...
متن کاملNatural RNA Polymerase Aptamers Regulate Transcription in E. coli.
In search for RNA signals that modulate transcription via direct interaction with RNA polymerase (RNAP), we deep sequenced an E. coli genomic library enriched for RNAP-binding RNAs. Many natural RNAP-binding aptamers, termed RAPs, were mapped to the genome. Over 60% of E. coli genes carry RAPs in their mRNA. Combining in vitro and in vivo approaches, we characterized a subset of inhibitory RAPs...
متن کاملConformational changes in E. coli RNA polymerase during promoter recognition.
We analysed complexes formed during recognition of the lacUV5 promoter by E. coli RNA polymerase using formaldehyde as a DNA-protein and protein-protein cross-linking reagent. Most of the cross-linked complexes specific for the open complex (RPO) contain the beta' subunit of RNA polymerase cross-linked with promoter DNA in the regions: -50 to -49; -5 to -10; + 5 to +8 and +18 to +21. The protei...
متن کاملRNA folding during transcription by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase analyzed by RNA self-cleavage.
We have used a self-cleaving RNA molecule related to a subsequence of plant viroids (a "hammerhead") to study the length-dependent folding of RNA produced during transcription by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. Transcript elongation is arrested at defined positions using chain-terminating ribonucleoside triphosphate analogues (3'-deoxyNTP's or 3'-O-methylNTP's). When the transcript can form th...
متن کاملThe kinetics of E. coli RNA polymerase.
Using an assay specific for chain elongation of E. coli RNA polymerase the kinetics of this propagation reaction have been studied. The kinetic behaviour is consistent woth the mathematical model formulated for this multisubstrate enzyme. The effect of increasing salt concentration on the kinetics of the reaction indicated that DNA unwinding is probably a necessary step in the propagation step,...
