Structural basis of transcription inhibition by antibiotic streptolydigin.
Streptolydigin (Stl) is a potent inhibitor of bacterial RNA polymerases (RNAPs). The 2.4 A resolution structure of the Thermus thermophilus RNAP-Stl complex showed that, in full agreement with the available genetic data, the inhibitor binding site is located 20 A away from the RNAP active site and encompasses the bridge helix and the trigger loop, two elements that are considered to be crucial ...
متن کاملStructural basis of transcription elongation.
For transcription elongation, all cellular RNA polymerases form a stable elongation complex (EC) with the DNA template and the RNA transcript. Since the millennium, a wealth of structural information and complementary functional studies provided a detailed three-dimensional picture of the EC and many of its functional states. Here we summarize these studies that elucidated EC structure and main...
متن کاملTranscription elongation: structural basis and mechanisms.
A ternary complex composed of RNA polymerase (RNAP), DNA template, and RNA transcript is the central intermediate in the transcription cycle responsible for the elongation of the RNA chain. Although the basic biochemistry of RNAP functioning is well understood, little is known about the underlying structural determinants. The absence of high- resolution structural data has hampered our understa...
متن کاملStructural basis of eukaryotic gene transcription.
An RNA polymerase II promoter has been isolated in transcriptionally activated and repressed states. Topological and nuclease digestion analyses have revealed a dynamic equilibrium between nucleosome removal and reassembly upon transcriptional activation, and have further shown that nucleosomes are removed by eviction of histone octamers rather than by sliding. The promoter, once exposed, assem...
متن کاملStructural basis for transcription reactivation by RapA.
RNA polymerase (RNAP) loses activity during transcription as it stalls at various inactive states due to erratic translocation. Reactivation of these stalled RNAPs is essential for efficient RNA synthesis. Here we report a 4.7-Å resolution crystal structure of the Escherichia coli RNAP core enzyme in complex with ATPase RapA that is involved in reactivating stalled RNAPs. The structure reveals ...
