Paper of the month: June 2014
- Transcription by RNA polymerase is interrupted by pauses that play diverse regulatory roles. However, the determinants of pauses in vivo and their distribution throughout the bacterial genome remain unknown. Using nascent transcript sequencing, Larson et al. identified a 16-nucleotide consensus pause sequence. The pauses result from RNA polymerase-nucleic acid interactions that inhibit next-nucleotide addition. The consensus sequence is enriched at translation start sites in Bacillus subtilis.
