An amber fragment of the beta subunit of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase has been recovered from strains carrying the rpoB12 amber mutation, indicating that the B12 mutation resides in the structural gene for the beta subunit. The fragment is readily assayed and can be used to determine the degree o
Spontaneously-occurring rifampicin-resistant mutants that survive on low (20 micrograms ml-1) but not high drug concentrations (200 micrograms ml-1) have been isolated. One such mutation appears to map close to residue 650 on the beta structural gene. RNA polymerase from low-level resistant strains
RNA polymerase was isolated from two suppressed rpoB amber strains exhibiting relaxed control over RNA synthesis in vivo. In vitro transcription analysis of these mutant holoenzymes carrying defined substitutions at known sites in the beta subunit clearly shows that single amino acid changes in beta
