Abstract
The B. subtilis RNA polymerase .sigma. subunit and the phage SPO1-coded gene 28 protein are responsible for selective binding of RNA polymerase to early and middle SPO1 promoters, respectively. The association of the RNA polymerase core with each of these subunits weakens during the elongation of RNA chains. Similar changes are known to be an essential part of the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase .sigma. cycle.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
