P.500 2nd paragraph: "From the genome sequence of E. coli, the total number of DNA-binding proteins that more or less influence transcription can be estimated to be ∼240–260 (primary source, N Fujita, unpublished data). Most of these DNA-binding proteins, which either activate or repress transcription of specific genes, interact directly with the RNA polymerase and modulate its specificity of transcription initiation (and elongation in some cases)." |
