DNA-dependent RNA polymerase has been found to be preferentially released at 43 ° C from the folded nucleoids of an E. coli dnaA ts mutant when compared with the same nucleoids at 30 ° C or with nucleoids of a dnaA + strain at either 30 ° or 43 ° C. The polypeptides released are identical in molecul

A mutant of Escherichia coli K12 is described in which sigma and alpha subunits of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6) are produced at the rates much higher than in the normal strain. The rate of synthesis for sigma subunit was found to be at least 10-times higher, though the rapid degrada
A cDNA encoding maize enolase (2-phospho-D-glycerate hydrolase) was purified by functional genetic complementation using an enolase deficient mutant of Escherichia coli, DF261. This cDNA, pZM245, was characterized by restriction mapping and DNA sequence analysis. The cDNA contained an open reading f
A cold-sensitive mutation in the rpoB gene for the RNA polymerase beta subunit increasing the temperature of promoter opening on T2 phage DNA was obtained in Escherichia coli. The mutation also affects the stages preceding promoter opening by increasing the dissociation rate of RNA polymerase--DNA c
