Bacterial RNA polymerases: the wholo story

Katsuhiko S Murakami et al. Curr Opin Struct Biol. 2003 Feb.

Abstract

Recent structural and biophysical results have provided unprecedented insights into the structure and function of the bacterial RNA polymerase holoenzyme as it goes through the steps of transcription initiation. Comparisons with structural analyses of evolutionarily unrelated RNA polymerases reveal unexpected general features of the initiation process.
