RNA-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 کاملEnhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of an RNA polymerase binding site at an early T7 promoter.
Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6), bound in a tight complex at an early T7 promoter, protects 41 to 43 base pairs of DNA from digestion by DNase. I. The protected DNA fragment contains both the binding site for RNA polymerase and the mRNA initiation point for the promoter. The sequence of the DNA fragment and the sequence of the mRNA that it codes for are presented here. A seven-base...
متن کاملInhibition 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 کاملEvolution of an inhibitory RNA aptamer against T7 RNA polymerase
Aptamers are promising gene components that can be used for the construction of synthetic gene circuits. In this study, we isolated an RNA aptamer that specifically inhibits transcription of T7 RNA polymerase (RNAP). The 38-nucleotide aptamer, which was a shortened variant of an initial SELEX isolate, showed moderate inhibitory activity. By stepwise doped-SELEX, we isolated evolved variants wit...
