A mutant RNA polymerase that forms unusual open promoter complexes.
We describe a mutant Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) that forms stable open promoter complexes even at -20 degrees C but with a shortened melted region that extends downstream to only position -7. In the presence of initiating transcription substrates, the mutant RNAP undergoes a temperature-dependent isomerization, resulting in a promoter complex that is indistinguishable from the wild-...
متن کاملCharacterization of a novel RNA polymerase mutant that alters DksA activity.
The auxiliary factor DksA is a global transcription regulator and, with the help of ppGpp, controls the nutritional stress response in Escherichia coli. Although the consequences of its modulation of RNA polymerase (RNAP) are becoming better explained, it is still not fully understood how the two proteins interact. We employed a series of genetic suppressor selections to find residues in RNAP t...

spliced and polyadenylated mRNA, and pre-mRNA tranEukaryotic cells must execute a complex program to scripts engineered to be synthesized by RNA polymergenerate mature functional messenger RNA (mRNA). ase III in mammalian cells fail to be spliced (Sisodia et After the transcription of a nuclear gene by RNA polyal., 1987). Greenleaf (1993) proposed that the negative merase II (RNA Pol II) is ini...
متن کاملSub1 contacts the RNA polymerase II stalk to modulate mRNA synthesis
Biogenesis of messenger RNA is critically influenced by the phosphorylation state of the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) in the largest RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) subunit. Several kinases and phosphatases are required to maintain proper CTD phosphorylation levels and, additionally, several other proteins modulate them, including Rpb4/7 and Sub1. The Rpb4/7 heterodimer, constituting the RNAPII sta...
متن کاملPrimer-dependent synthesis by poliovirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (3Dpol)
Properties of poliovirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (3D(pol)) including optimal conditions for primer extension, processivity and the rate of dissociation from primer-template (k(off)) were examined in the presence and absence of viral protein 3AB. Primer-dependent polymerization was examined on templates of 407 or 1499 nt primed such that fully extended products would be 296 or 1388 nt, resp...
