The effects of 2'-substitutions of ATP on the substrate and inhibitor properties for RNA synthesis were studied in the poly(dAT)-dependent reaction of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. In the presence of UTP, 2'-deoxy-2'-azidoadenosine 5'-triphosphate (AZTP) was incorporated into an acid-insoluble fraction at one-tenth of the rate of ATP incorporation; it thus acts as a competitive inhibitor for poly(AU) synthesis. On the other hand, another ATP analog, 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroadenosine 5'-triphosphate (AfTP), was co-polymerized with UTP into acid-insoluble materials at a rate less than 1% of that of ATP incorporation; in addition, it exerted a strong but mixed-type inhibition on poly(AU) synthesis. Different modes of action of the two ATP analogs are discussed in connection with the specificity of substrate recognition by RNA polymerase.

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
D012321 DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases Enzymes that catalyze DNA template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand one nucleotide at a time. They can initiate a chain de novo. In eukaryotes, three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to alpha-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992).
