Methylation protection experiments with four promoters (P1 and P2 of the pBR322 plasmid, lacUV5 and lambda P0) have shown that the RNA polymerases from Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida, while differing in the primary structure of the subunits involved in DNA binding, display identical patterns of DNA contacts. Nor do these enzymes differ in covalent cross-linking patterns with a partially apurinized promoter. We conclude that the two RNA polymerases have very similar structures of DNA binding centers. The evolutionary conservation of this structure may account for the fact that diverse RNA polymerases often recognize and efficiently use promoters of distant bacterial species. |
