摘要
Using fast-scanning atomic force microscopy, we directly visualized the interaction of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) with DNA at the scan rate of 1-2 frames per second. The analyses showed that the RNAP can locate the promoter region not only by sliding but also by hopping and/or segmental transfer. Upon the addition of 0.05 mM NTPs to the stalled complex, the RNAP molecule pulled the template DNA uni-directionally at the rates of 15 nucleotides/s on average. The present method is potentially applicable to examine a variety of protein-nucleic acid interactions, especially those involved in the process of gene regulation.
