Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
myxopyronin inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase and inhibits transcription on the artificially melted promoters, inhibition mechanism, overview. The antibiotic binds to a pocket deep inside the RNAP clamp head domain, which interacts with the DNA template in the transcription bubble, binding of dMyx stabilizes refolding of the beta'-subunit switch-2 segment, resulting in a configuration that might indirectly compromise binding to, or directly clash with, the melted template DNA strand, binding structure, overview. Antibiotic binding does not prevent nucleation of the promoter DNA melting but instead blocks its propagation towards the active site. dMyx binds in the pocket deep inside the RNAP clamp head domain. Mutations designed in switch-2 mimic the dMyx effects on promoter complexes in the absence of antibiotic Thermus thermophilus
