- * Transcription termination factor nusG signature *
- ***************************************************
-
- The nusG protein [1,2] is a bacterial transcriptional elongation factor that
- influences transcription termination and antitermination. It acts as a
- component of the transcription complex, and interacts with the termination
- factor rho and RNA polymerase.
-
- NusG is a protein of 177 to 353 amino-acid residues [3,4] whose C-terminal
- sequence is well conserved. We have developed a signature pattern from the
- most conserved part of nusG.
-
- -Consensus pattern: [LIVM]-F-G-R-x-T-P-V-x-[LIVM]
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
- -Last update: June 1994 / First entry.
