Descriptions
Elongating Escherichia coli RNAP is modulated by NusA protein. The C-terminal domain (CTD) of the RNAP α subunit (αCTD) interacts with the acidic CTD 2 (AR2) of NusA, releasing the autoinhibitory blockade of the NusA S1-KH1-KH2 motif and allowing NusA to bind nascent nut spacer RNA. In free NusA, the AR2 domain within NusA intramolecularly interacts with the KH1 domain of SKK motif, preventing RNA binding by NusA-SKK and rendering NusA autoinhibited. This autoinhibition can be relieved by the alpha-CTD of RNAP as NusA-SKK and CTD share binding sites on NusA-AR2.
