}Transcription termination in Escherichia coli is controlled by many factors. The sequence of the DNA template, the structure of the transcript, and the actions of auxiliary proteins all play a role in determining the efficiency of the process. Termination is regulated and can be enhanced or suppressed by host and phage proteins. This complex reaction is rapidly yielding to biochemical and structural analysis of the interacting factors. Below we review and attempt to unify into basic principles…

The structural interplay and the mechanistic role of the Nus-factors that are directly involved in processive elongation, transcription:translation coupling and termination as well as the varying effects of these proteins on transcription under the influence of additional signals are discussed.
Control of Transcription Termination and Antitermination

The regulatory molecules that are known to influence the elongation/termination decision by RNA polymerase (RNAP) are described, with the emphasis on the most recent findings and on the mechanism of ‘‘active’’ regulators whose actions are not limited to changes in RNA folding.

Suppression of Factor-Dependent TranscriptionTermination by AntiterminatorRNA
- BiologyJournal of bacteriology
- 2003
Nascent transcripts of the phage HK022 put sites modify the transcription elongation complex so that it terminates less efficiently at intrinsic transcription terminators and accelerates through pause sites, suggesting that put inhibits a step that is common to termination at the different types of terminator.

It is concluded that NusG modulates Rho-dependent termination by interacting specifically with the RNAP of the E. coli elongation complex to render the complex more susceptible to the termination activity of Rho.
