#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

A rut site has a sequence rich in C and poor in G preceding the actual site(s) of termination. The sequence corresponds to the 3’ end of the RNA.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Rho is a member of the family of hexameric ATP-dependent helicases. Each subunit has an RNA-binding domain and an ATP hydrolysis domain.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

After binding to the rut site, rho uses its helicase activity, driven by ATP hydrolysis, to translocate along RNA until it reaches the RNA polymerase

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Nonsense mutation in one gene of a transcription unit was found to prevent the expression of subsequent genes in the unit even though both genes had their own ribosome binding sites, an effect called polarity.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Rho-dependent termination sites within a transcription unit are usually masked by translating ribosomes and therefore rho cannot act on downstream RNA polymerases

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Nonsense mutations release ribosomes within the RNA of a multigene operon, though, enabling rho to terminate transcription prematurely and prevent expression of distal genes in the transcription unit even though their open reading frames contained wild-type sequences.
