Rho Transcription Termination Factor is a 7 chain structure that is found in E.coli. The molecule facilitates termination of transcription by binding to the nascent RNA. The termination factor activates rho's RNA-dependent ATP-ase activity, thus releasing the newly formed mRNA from the DNA template.

Structure and Cellular Interaction

Rho termination factor is made up of four ligands: , , , and ADP.
