Citation | Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A / Year: 2023Title: A general mechanism for transcription bubble nucleation in bacteria. Authors: Andreas U Mueller / James Chen / Mengyu Wu / Courtney Chiu / B Tracy Nixon / Elizabeth A Campbell / Seth A Darst / ![]() Abstract: Bacterial transcription initiation requires σ factors for nucleation of the transcription bubble. The canonical housekeeping σ factor, σ, nucleates DNA melting via recognition of conserved bases ...Bacterial transcription initiation requires σ factors for nucleation of the transcription bubble. The canonical housekeeping σ factor, σ, nucleates DNA melting via recognition of conserved bases of the promoter -10 motif, which are unstacked and captured in pockets of σ. By contrast, the mechanism of transcription bubble nucleation and formation during the unrelated σ-mediated transcription initiation is poorly understood. Herein, we combine structural and biochemical approaches to establish that σ, like σ, captures a flipped, unstacked base in a pocket formed between its N-terminal region I (RI) and extra-long helix features. Strikingly, RI inserts into the nascent bubble to stabilize the nucleated bubble prior to engagement of the obligate ATPase activator. Our data suggest a general paradigm of transcription initiation that requires σ factors to nucleate an early melted intermediate prior to productive RNA synthesis. | |||||||||
