The α subunit C-terminal domain (αCTD) of RNA polymerase (RNAP) is a key element in transcription activation in__Escherichia coli__, possessing determinants responsible for the interaction of RNAP with DNA and with transcription factors. Here, the crystal structure of__E. coli__αCTD (α subunit resid

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
