Bacterial N-Utilization Substance G (NusG) N-terminal (NGN) domain, subgroup 2 The N-Utilization Substance G (NusG) protein is involved in transcription elongation and termination. NusG is essential in Escherichia coli and associates with RNA polymerase elongation and Rho-termination. Paralogs of eubacterial NusG, NusG SP (Specialized Paralog of NusG), are more diverse and often found as the first ORF in operons encoding secreted proteins and LPS biosynthesis genes. NusG SP family members are operon-specific transcriptional antitermination factors. The NusG N-terminal domain (NGN) is quite similar in all NusG orthologs, but its C-terminal domain and the linker that separates these two domains are different. The domain organization of NusG and its orthologs suggests that the common properties of NusG and its orthologs and paralogs are due to their similar NGN domains. |
