Ligands: 1N7, MG, ZN Related: 6n57, 6n58 Activity: DNA-directed RNA polymerase, with EC number 2.7.7.6 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [RPOZ_ECO57] Promotes RNA polymerase assembly. Latches the N- and C-terminal regions of the beta' subunit thereby facilitating its interaction with the beta and alpha subunits (By similarity).

[Q0P6L9_ECOLX] Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the primary sigma factor during exponential growth.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00963][SAAS:SAAS00535554] Publication Abstract from PubMed TraR and its homolog DksA are bacterial proteins that regulate transcription initiation by binding directly to RNA polymerase (RNAP) rather than to promoter DNA. Effects of TraR mimic the combined effects of DksA and its cofactor ppGpp, but the structural basis for regulation by these factors remains unclear. Here, we use cryo-electron microscopy to determine structures of Escherichia coli RNAP, with or without TraR, and of an RNAP-promoter complex. TraR binding induced RNAP conformational changes not seen in previous crystallographic analyses, and a quantitative analysis revealed TraR-induced changes in RNAP conformational heterogeneity. These changes involve mobile regions of RNAP affecting promoter DNA interactions, including the betalobe, the clamp, the bridge helix, and several lineage-specific insertions. Using mutational approaches, we show that these structural changes, as well as effects on sigma(70) region 1.1, are critical for transcription activation or inhibition, depending on the kinetic features of regulated promoters.
