Using cryo-electron microscopy, we have solved five structures of the and transcription activation complexes, including the RNA polymerase (RNAP) holoenzyme, promoter DNAs, transcribed RNA, and their corresponding transcription factors, ToxR or TcpP and ToxR-TcpP, respectively. Activation is achieved through the interaction of ToxR or TcpP with the α-C-terminal repeat domain of RNAP where a single residue of the activator, a phenylalanine, appears to be the most critical contact, as confirmed by mutagenesis. No interactions of the transcription factors were observed with other subunits of the RNAP, i.e., the σ subunit as it occurs in the structurally related PhoB family of two-component transcription factors. The structures, and their comparison with our previously solved DNA promoter-ToxR x-ray structures, unveil the molecular mechanism of cholera virulence gene activation.
