AMBER refined NMR Structure of the Sigma-54 RpoN Domain Bound to the-24 Promoter Element
Overview
The sigma subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) regulates gene, expression by directing RNAP to specific promoters. Unlike sigma(70)-type, proteins, the alternative sigma factor, sigma(54), requires interaction, with an ATPase to open DNA. We present the solution structure of the, C-terminal domain of sigma(54) bound to the -24 promoter element, in which, the conserved RpoN box motif inserts into the major groove of the DNA., This structure elucidates the basis for sequence specific recognition of, the -24 element, orients sigma(54) on the promoter, and suggests how the, C-terminal domain of sigma(54) interacts with RNAP.
