The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• binds to the non-template DNA within the paused transcription bubble [Pubmed|26742846]
• shifts [SW|RNA polymerase] to the posttranslocation register and induces pausing at 1,600 sites containing a consensus TTNTTT motif in the nontemplate DNA strand within the paused transcription bubble [pubmed|32817529]

[SW|Domains]

• KOW domain (aa 128-156) (according to UniProt)

Structure

• [PDB|2JVV] (from ''E. coli'', 44% identity) [Pubmed|19500594]

[SW|Localization]
