We show that the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) alpha subunit C-terminal domain (alphaCTD) functionally interacts with sigma(70) at a subset of UP-element- and activator-dependent promoters, we define the determinants of alphaCTD and sigma(70) required for the interaction, and we present a structural model for the interaction. The alphaCTD-sigma(70) interaction spans the upstream promoter and core promoter, thereby linking recognition of UP-elements and activators in the upstream promoter with recognition of the -35 element in the core promoter. We propose that the alphaCTD-sigma(70) interaction permits UP-elements and activators not only to "recruit" RNAP through direct interaction with alphaCTD, but also to "remodel" RNAP-core-promoter interaction through indirect, alphaCTD-bridged interactions with sigma(70). 相似文献

The promoter recognition site on the sigma70 initiation factor is shielded from interaction with DNA unless sigma70 is bound to the core component of RNA polymerase (RNAP). It is shown that interaction of sigma70 with the isolated beta' subunit of Escherichia coli RNAP is sufficient to induce unshielding of the DNA binding site. Using UV-induced DNA-protein cross-linking we demonstrate that free beta' stimulates specific cross-links between region 2 of the sigma70 polypeptide and a fragment of the non-template promoter strand containing the TATAAT sequence. Thus the sigmabeta' subassembly of RNAP can assume a functionally competent conformation independently of the bulk of the RNAP core. 相似文献
