The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
binds to the non-template DNA within the paused transcription bubble [Pubmed|26742846]
shifts [wiki|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]
facilitate transcription termination at 88% of the 1400 identified intrinsic terminators [pubmed|33835023]
stimulates a sequence-specific pause that assists in the completion of suboptimal terminator hairpins with weak terminal A-U and G-U base pairs at the bottom of the stem [pubmed|33835023]
