Single-peptide DNA-dependent RNA polymerase homologous to multi-subunit RNA polymerase
Abstract
Although all known RNA polymerases have multiple subunits, unrelated single-subunit polymerases have also been described. Here, the authors describe a single-subunit RNA polymerase from the SPβ prophage ofBacillus subtilis, which shares homology to multi-subunit enzymes.
