  • A bridge to transcription by RNA polymerase.

    Kaplan CD, Kornberg RD. J Biol. 2008; 7 (10): 39

    ABSTRACT: A comprehensive survey of single amino-acid substitution mutations critical for RNA polymerase function published in Journal of Biology supports a proposed mechanism for polymerase action in which movement of the polymerase 'bridge helix' promotes transcriptional activity in cooperation with a critical substrate-interaction domain, the 'trigger loop'.
