Stability of elongation complexes formed by RNAPs with substitutions of β′ R339. Halted A26 elongation complexes were formed at the λPR promoter and incubated in the presence of 1M NaCl. The RNA transcripts that remained bound to RNAP after different time intervals were analyzed by gel electrophoresis. The 26-mer RNA transcript is shown by an arrowhead. Mutant RNAPs also synthesized considerable amounts of a shorter RNA transcript, likely as a result of defects in promoter escape and/or RNA elongation.
