Title: Real-time capture of σ transcription initiation intermediates reveals mechanism of ATPase-driven activation by limited unfolding.
Authors: Andreas U Mueller / Nina Molina / B Tracy Nixon / Seth A Darst /
Abstract: Bacterial σ factors bind RNA polymerase (E) to form holoenzyme (Eσ), conferring promoter specificity to E and playing a key role in transcription bubble formation. σ is unique among σ factors in ...Bacterial σ factors bind RNA polymerase (E) to form holoenzyme (Eσ), conferring promoter specificity to E and playing a key role in transcription bubble formation. σ is unique among σ factors in its structure and functional mechanism, requiring activation by specialized AAA+ ATPases. Eσ forms an inactive promoter complex where the N-terminal σ region I (σ-RI) threads through a small DNA bubble. On the opposite side of the DNA, the ATPase engages σ-RI within the pore of its hexameric ring. Here, we perform kinetics-guided structural analysis of de novo formed Eσ initiation complexes and engineer a biochemical assay to measure ATPase-mediated σ-RI translocation during promoter melting. We show that the ATPase exerts mechanical action to translocate about 30 residues of σ-RI through the DNA bubble, disrupting inhibitory structures of σ to allow full transcription bubble formation. A local charge switch of σ-RI from positive to negative may help facilitate disengagement of the otherwise processive ATPase, allowing subsequent σ disentanglement from the DNA bubble.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
