Two transcription pause elements underlie a σ70-dependent pause cycle.
The movement of RNA polymerase (RNAP) during transcription elongation is modulated by DNA-encoded elements that cause the elongation complex to pause. One of the best-characterized pause sequences is a binding site for the σ(70) initiation factor that induces pausing at a site near lambdoid phage late-gene promoters. An essential component of this σ(70)-dependent pause is the elemental pause si...
متن کاملA universal transcription pause sequence is an element of initiation factor σ70-dependent pausing
The Escherichia coli σ70 initiation factor is required for a post-initiation, promoter-proximal pause essential for regulation of lambdoid phage late gene expression; potentially, σ70 acts at other sites during transcription elongation as well. The pause is induced by σ70 binding to a repeat of the promoter -10 sequence. After σ70 binding, further RNA synthesis occurs as DNA is drawn (or 'scrun...
متن کاملComparison of Pause Predictions of Two Sequence-Dependent Transcription Models.
Two recent theoretical models, Bai et al. (2004, 2007) and Tadigotla et al. (2006), formulated thermodynamic explanations of sequence-dependent transcription pausing by RNA polymerase (RNAP). The two models differ in some basic assumptions and therefore make different yet overlapping predictions for pause locations, and different predictions on pause kinetics and mechanisms. Here we present a c...
متن کاملRegulation of promoter-proximal transcription elongation: enhanced DNA scrunching drives λQ antiterminator-dependent escape from a σ70-dependent pause
During initial transcription, RNA polymerase remains bound at the promoter and synthesizes RNA without movement along the DNA template, drawing downstream DNA into itself in a process called scrunching and thereby storing energy to sever the bonds that hold the enzyme at the promoter. We show that DNA scrunching also is the driving force behind the escape of RNA polymerase from a regulatory pau...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a transcription pause site in rotavirus.
In rotavirus, transcription of the 11 double-stranded RNA genome segments occurs within the structurally intact subviral particle, and nascent transcripts are released through channels penetrating the two capsid layers at the icosahedral vertices. To gain insight into the early molecular events in transcription, we used high-resolution polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to investigate the lengt...
