A number of transcription activators have been found to activate transcription via protein-protein contact between RNA polymerase alpha subunits and transcription factors; they are classified as class I factors. In this report, we demonstrate that the FlhD/FlhC complex, a transcription activator of the Escherichia coli flagellar regulon, requires the C-terminal domain of the RNA polymerase alpha subunit for transcription activation. We conclude that FlhD/FlhC is a class I transcription factor.
已发现许多转录激活因子通过RNA聚合酶α亚基与转录因子之间的蛋白质-蛋白质接触来激活转录;它们被归类为I类因子。在本报告中,我们证明了FlhD/FlhC复合物(大肠杆菌鞭毛调节子的转录激活因子)需要RNA聚合酶α亚基的C末端结构域来激活转录。我们得出结论,FlhD/FlhC是一种I类转录因子。
