Fig. 6

For RNAP displacing tests, comparisons were made among 15 DNA templates with a 3-bp mismatch. ρ-dependent TEs (= raw TE—background TE) of recycling (solid) and decomposing (open) were measured in stand-by (red) and catch-up (cyan) assays and normalized to the maximum of 100% by dividing with (1—background TE). a Putative elongation-coupled progression of transcription bubble in the mgtA wild-type template and a mutant with a 3-bp mismatch (blue). b A peaked effect of the 3-bp mismatch on decomposing termination. Normalized decomposing TEs of the 15 mutants in the y-axis are plotted against the center position of the 3-bp mismatch in the x-axis. Horizontal lines indicate the values of the wild-type template (16.7% for stand-by assay and 24.9% for catch-up assay). c No effect of the mismatch on recycling termination. Normalized recycling TEs in the y-axis are plotted against the mismatch position in the x-axis. Error bar represents the standard deviation of the mean from n ≥ 3 independent experiments. The numbers of analyzed molecules for (b) and (c) are in Supplementary Table 2. Source Data file includes the data for (b) and (c).
