Rho Factor: Transcription Termination in Four Steps
Rho factor is a hexameric ring-shaped helicase which terminates transcription in Escherichia coli. Two recent crystal structures of Rho in complex with nucleic acid reveal how this helicase ring loads onto mRNA and encircles it.
متن کاملMechanochemistry of transcription termination factor Rho.
Rho is a ring-shaped hexameric motor protein that translocates along nascent mRNA transcript and terminates transcription of select genes in bacteria. Using a numerical optimization algorithm that simultaneously fits all of the presteady-state ATPase kinetic data, we determine how Rho utilizes the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis to translocate RNA. A random hydrolysis mechanism is ruled out b...
متن کاملAn RNA motif advances transcription by preventing Rho-dependent termination.
The transcription termination factor Rho associates with most nascent bacterial RNAs as they emerge from RNA polymerase. However, pharmacological inhibition of Rho derepresses only a small fraction of these transcripts. What, then, determines the specificity of Rho-dependent transcription termination? We now report the identification of a Rho-antagonizing RNA element (RARE) that hinders Rho-dep...
متن کاملRho directs widespread termination of intragenic and stable RNA transcription.
The transcription termination factor Rho is a global regulator of RNA polymerase (RNAP). Although individual Rho-dependent terminators have been studied extensively, less is known about the sites of RNAP regulation by Rho on a genome-wide scale. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation and microarrays (ChIP-chip), we examined changes in the distribution of Escherichia coli RNAP in response to the Rh...
متن کاملTranscription termination factor rho mediates simultaneous release of RNA transcripts and DNA template from complexes with Escherichia coli RNA polymerase.
Dissociation of RNA and DNA from Escherichia coli RNA polymerase in transcription complexes prepared with enzyme molecules located within and near a rho-dependent transcription termination region on bacteriophage T7 D111 DNA has been studied using a membrane filter-binding assay. Rho protein with ATP present mediated rapid (half-time approximately 27 s) simultaneous dissociation of about 50% of...
