Deletions, insertions and rearrangements affecting rpoB gene expression

Mol Gen Genet. 1979 Jun 7;173(2):217-20. doi: 10.1007/BF00330315.

Abstract

Through cloning and deletion experiments on ColEl hybrids the rpoB gene (Rifr) was located on a physical restriction map; RNA polymerase binding studies showed no binding site within the structural gene. The genetic data and RNA polymerase binding studies lead to the conclusion that rp/L and rpoB are dependent upon a common promoter.
