Controlling the elongation phase of transcription with P-TEFb.

abstract：:ComS is an antiadaptor protein that binds to MecA, displacing the competence transcription factor ComK. This protects ComK from degradation by the ClpCP protease and turns on the switch leading to bistable gene expression. Here we identify the motifs on ComK and ComS that mediate binding to MecA, and we show that they...
