PROSITE documentation PDOC00775
Transcription termination factor nusG signature


Description

The nusG protein [1,2] is a bacterial transcriptional elongation factor that NusG protein [1,2] is a bacterial transcriptional elongation factor that 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 developed a signature pattern from the most conserved part of nusG.
