We have mapped the chromosomal locus of rpoD, which encodes the major sigma factor of Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase. The rpoD locus lay between aroD and lys, tightly linked to dnaE and inseparable from crsA. Marker order in this region was acf-aroD-dnaE-rpoD(crsA)-spoOG-lys. By transformation usi

The Bacillus subtilis veg promotor site was shown to be composed of two neighboring RNA polymerase binding sites, only one of which (" Site I") produces a transcript. The relationship between these sites has been investigated following (a) insertion of ten base pairs of DNA between the sites and sub
These studies have been conducted as a first step toward investigating the molecular mechanism by which DNA-dependent RNA polymerase recognizes a specific region of DNA. The DNA moieties are either bound to or freed from RNA polymerase. Results obtained so far indicate that the DNA moieties remainin
