Bacterial transcription mediated by RNA polymerase (RNAP) is a highly regulated process and RNAP action is modulated during the different phases of initiation, elongation and termination by proteins such as the Escherichia coli Nus transcription-factors. Here we discuss the structural interplay and the mechanistic role of the Nus-factors that are directly involved in the processivity of elongation, transcription:translation coupling and termination, as well as the varying effects of these proteins on transcription under the influence of additional signals.
由RNA聚合酶(RNAP)介导的细菌转录是一个高度受调控的过程,在起始、延伸和终止的不同阶段,RNAP的作用会受到诸如大肠杆菌Nus转录因子等蛋白质的调节。在这里,我们讨论了直接参与延伸持续性、转录:翻译偶联和终止过程的Nus因子的结构相互作用和机制作用,以及这些蛋白质在其他信号影响下对转录的不同影响。
