| + | Transcriptional pauses mediate regulation of RNA biogenesis. DNA-encoded pause signals trigger pausing by stabilizing RNA polymerase (RNAP) swiveling and inhibiting DNA translocation. The N-terminal domain (NGN) of the only universal transcription factor, NusG/Spt5, modulates pausing through contacts to RNAP and DNA. Pro-pausing NusGs enhance pauses, whereas anti-pausing NusGs suppress pauses. Little is known about pausing and NusG in the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). We report that MtbNusG is pro-pausing. MtbNusG captures paused, swiveled RNAP by contacts to the RNAP protrusion and nontemplate-DNA wedged between the NGN and RNAP gate loop. In contrast, anti-pausing Escherichia coli (Eco) NGN contacts the MtbRNAP gate loop, inhibiting swiveling and pausing. Using CRISPR-mediated genetics, we show that pro-pausing NGN is required for mycobacterial fitness. Our results define an essential function of mycobacterial NusG and the structural basis of pro- versus anti-pausing NusG activity, with broad implications for the function of all NusG orthologs. | ||
