On the one hand, this type of organizational structure benefits from having individuals entirely dedicated to one function. In some cases, there can be cost savings and efficiency gains in combining functions in this way. However, this type of organizational structure is prone to conflict.
The alpha subunit (RpoA) initiates RNAP assembly by dimerising to form a platform on which the beta subunits can interact. The alpha subunit consists of a N-terminal domain (NTD) and a C-terminal domain (CTD), connected by a short linker.
What is the function of the group of amino acids on the RNA polymerase, called the rudder? There are 3 principles to keep in mind when predicting the sequence of mRNA produced by transcription of a particular DNA sequence: 1. RNA polymerase reads only from the template DNA strand. 2. RNA polymerase reads the code form the template in a 3' to 5' direction and produces mRNA in a 5' to 3' Direction.
