AsiA binds tightly within the C-terminal portion of the σ<jats:sup>70</jats:sup>subunit of RNA polymerase, while MotA binds to the 9-bp MotA box motif, which is centered at −30, and also interacts with σ<jats:sup>70</jats:sup>.

Replacement of the C-terminal 17 residues of σ<jats:sup>70</jats:sup>with comparable σ<jats:sup>38</jats:sup>residues abolishes the interaction with MotA<jats:sup>NTD</jats:sup>in this assay, as does the introduction of the amino acid substitution R608C. Furthermore, in vitro transcription experiments indicate that a polymerase reconstituted with a σ<jats:sup>70</jats:sup>that lacks C-terminal amino acids 604 to 613 or 608 to 613 is defective for MotA-dependent activation. We also show that a proteolyzed fragment of MotA that contains the C-terminal half (MotA<jats:sup>CTD</jats:sup>) binds DNA with a<jats:italic>K</jats:italic><jats:sub>D(app)</jats:sub>that is similar to that of full-length MotA. Our results support a model for MotA-dependent activation in which protein-protein contact between DNA-bound MotA and the far-C-terminal region of σ<jats:sup>70</jats:sup>helps to substitute functionally for an interaction between σ<jats:sup>70</jats:sup>and a promoter −35 element.</jats:p> The Bacteriophage T4 Transcription Activator MotA Interacts with the Far-C-Terminal Region of the σ<sup>70</sup>Subunit of<i>Escherichia coli</i>RNA Polymerase Journal of Bacteriology
