UniProt functional annotation for P0AG30

UniProt code: P0AG30.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Facilitates transcription termination by a mechanism that involves Rho binding to the nascent RNA, activation of Rho's RNA- dependent ATPase activity, and release of the mRNA from the DNA template. RNA-dependent NTPase which utilizes all four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1716628, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2461932}.
 
Activity regulation: ATPase activity is inhibited by bicyclomycin and dihydrobicyclomycin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7487110}.
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=11 uM for ATP {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7487110};
Subunit: Homohexamer. The homohexamer assembles into an open ring structure. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10230401, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12859904, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15642265, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19879839, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9586995}.
Domain: Each subunit has two RNA-binding sites, one at the surface of the hexameric ring, and one at the center of the open ring structure, where RNA helicase activity is thought to take place.
Similarity: Belongs to the Rho family. {ECO:0000305}.
