Promoter Selectivity Control of RNA Polymerase

  • Chapter
Mechanisms of Transcription

Part of the book series: Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology ((NUCLEIC,volume 11))

Abstract

The RNA polymerase (RPase) holoenzyme of Escherichia coli is composed of a core enzyme with the subunit structure α2ββ′, combined with one of the multiple species of σ subunits, which provides the recognition activity for two hexanucleotide sequences of promoters, generally located near -35 and -10 positions relative to the transcription start site. The core enzyme carries all the functions necessary for RNA polymerization but the σ subunit is required for transcription initiation from promoters. Each σ subunit recognizes a different set of promoters and therefore the promoter selectivity of RPase can be modulated by replacement of the σ subunit (Helmann and Chamberlin 1988; Ishihama 1988). At present, seven different molecular species of σ subunit are known to exist in E. coli.
