Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
protein gp76 the Thermus phage protein gp76 inhibits Escherichia coli RNAP highlighting the template-DNA binding site as a target site for developing antibacterial agents Escherichia coli
protein gp76 the Thermus phage protein binds within the RNAP cleft and occupies the path of the template DNA strand at positions -11 to -4, relative to the transcription start site at +1. Thus, gp76 obstructs the formation of an open promoter complex and prevents transcription by Thermus thermophilus RNAP from most host promoters Thermus thermophilus
