  • Title: Activation of transcription by guanosine 5'-diphosphate,3'-diphosphate, transfer ribonucleic acid, and novel protein from Escherichia coli.
    Author: Aboud M, Pastan I.
    Journal: J Biol Chem; 1975 Mar 25; 250(6):2189-95. PubMed ID: 163822.
    Abstract:
    A protein factor TFms) that is required for ppGpp to stimulate RNA synthesis has been purified from an eluate of crude ribosomes. TFms also has the capacity to stimulate RNA synthesis without ppGpp present. Under standard conditions the action TFms and ppGpp requires uncharged tRNA. TFms and ppGpp act at inhibition to promote the formation of rifampicin-resistant or polytrI)-resistant preinitiation complexes. In the presence of rifampicin or poly(rI), tRNA is no longer required. With lambdah80dlacPs DNA as template, ppGpp together with TFms stimulated gal RNA synthesis to a much greater extent than total RNA synthesis. The stimulation of both lac and gel RNA synthesis was increased in the presence of cyclic AMP receptor and cyclic AMP.
