E. coli RNA polymerase was selectively labelled in the presence of promoters at a histidine residue of the beta-subunit by treatment with GDP beta-imidazolide and then with [alpha-32P]UTP (or [alpha-33P]UTP). Partial cyanogen bromide cleavage of the labelled polypeptide afforded a series of "single-hit" labelled peptides, the electrophoretic pattern of which suggested that the labelling site was His1237. This conclusion was confirmed by a similar pattern obtained with products of the cyanogen bromide cleavage of a radioactive peptide obtained by the limited trypsinolysis (C-terminal peptide consisting of 423 amino acid residues). Interpretation of our earlier results in favour of His1116 as the labelling point (Dokl. Acad. nauk SSSR, 1985, v. 281, p. 723) was incorrect due to the electrophoretic "compression" of three labelled peptide bands.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010442 Peptide Chain Initiation, Translational A process of GENETIC TRANSLATION whereby the formation of a peptide chain is started. It includes assembly of the RIBOSOME components, the MESSENGER RNA coding for the polypeptide to be made, INITIATOR TRNA, and PEPTIDE INITIATION FACTORS; and placement of the first amino acid in the peptide chain. The details and components of this process are unique for prokaryotic protein biosynthesis and eukaryotic protein biosynthesis.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
