Initial Events in Bacterial Transcription Initiation
Transcription initiation is a highly regulated step of gene expression. Here, we discuss the series of large conformational changes set in motion by initial specific binding of bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) to promoter DNA and their relevance for regulation. Bending and wrapping of the upstream duplex facilitates bending of the downstream duplex into the active site cleft, nucleating opening ...
متن کاملA common topology for bacterial and eukaryotic transcription initiation?
DNA supercoiling is a major regulator of transcription in bacteria. Negative supercoiling acts both by promoting the formation of nucleoprotein structures containing wrapped DNA and by altering the twist of DNA. The latter affects the initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase as well as recombination processes. Here, we argue that although bacteria and eukaryotes differ in their mode of pac...
متن کاملtranscription initiation
Ve showed earlier [101 that the region of the bla promoter of Tn3 protected by the RHA-polymerase (REAP), has the normal size (about 60bp) at RJAP/promoter molar ratio r(2, but rises to about twice this extent as r increases. Ve confirm here that the species corresponding to normal and extended footprint distinguish by their electrophoretic mobilities. Furtheraore, inspection of the complexes b...
متن کاملA bacteriophage transcription regulator inhibits bacterial transcription initiation by σ-factor displacement
Bacteriophages (phages) appropriate essential processes of bacterial hosts to benefit their own development. The multisubunit bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAp) enzyme, which catalyses DNA transcription, is targeted by phage-encoded transcription regulators that selectively modulate its activity. Here, we describe the structural and mechanistic basis for the inhibition of bacterial RNAp by the tra...
متن کاملAtomistic-scale simulations of the initial chemical events in the thermal initiation of triacetonetriperoxide.
To study the initial chemical events related to the detonation of triacetonetriperoxide (TATP), we have performed a series of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In these simulations we used the ReaxFF reactive force field, which we have extended to reproduce the quantum mechanics (QM)-derived relative energies of the reactants, products, intermediates, and transition states related to the TAT...
