Archaeal and eukaryotic RNAPs (DNA-dependent RNA polymerases) are complex multi-subunit enzymes. Two of the subunits, F and E, which together form the F/E complex, have been hypothesized to associate with RNAP in a reversible manner during the transcription cycle. We have characterized the molecular interactions between the F/E complex and the RNAP core. F/E binds to RNAP with submicromolar affinity and is not in a dynamic exchange with unbound F/E.
古菌和真核生物的RNA聚合酶(依赖DNA的RNA聚合酶)是复杂的多亚基酶。其中两个亚基F和E共同形成F/E复合体,据推测在转录周期中它们与RNA聚合酶以可逆方式结合。我们已经对F/E复合体与RNA聚合酶核心之间的分子相互作用进行了表征。F/E以亚微摩尔亲和力与RNA聚合酶结合,并且不会与未结合的F/E进行动态交换。
