The sequence of σ54 is distinctly different from that of all the σ70-like factors, some characteristics about σ54 is given below;

a) The σ54-RNA polymerase binds to the glnA promoter and immediately melt the DNA strands and initiate transcription

b) σ54-polymerase does not require ATP hydrolysis to separate the strands at a start site only require activator such as   NtrC

c) σ54-RNA polymerase initiate transcription of glnA promoter only when it is activated by NtrC

d) ATP hydrolysis is required for activation of bound σ54-RNA polymerase by phosphorylated NtrC

It is possible to calculate the number of clones that must be present in a gene library to give a probability of obtaining a particular DNA sequence. This formula is:
 
where N is the number of recombinants, P is the probability and f is the fraction of the genome in one insert. Thus for the E. coli DNA chromosome of 5 × 10 6 bp andan insert size of 20 kb ( f = 0.004), the number of clones needed ( N ) would be 1 × 10 3 ,with a probability of P will be
