RNA polymerase from mesophilic Deinococcus radiodurans displays the same cold sensitivity of promoter opening as RNA polymerase from the closely related thermophilic Thermus aquaticus. This suggests that, contrary to the accepted view, cold sensitivity of promoter opening by thermophilic RNA polymerases may not be a consequence of their thermostability.
嗜温性耐辐射球菌的RNA聚合酶与亲缘关系相近的嗜热性水生栖热菌的RNA聚合酶一样,在启动子开放方面表现出相同的冷敏感性。这表明,与普遍观点相反,嗜热RNA聚合酶在启动子开放方面的冷敏感性可能并非其热稳定性的结果。
