Transcription initiation with ς54 -RNA polymerase holoenzyme (ς54 -holoenzyme) has absolute requirements for an activator protein and ATP hydrolysis. ς54 ’s binding to core RNA polymerase and promoter DNA has been well studied, but little is known about its role in the subsequent steps of transcription initiation. Following random mutagenesis, we isolated eight mutant forms ofSalmonella typhimurium ς54 that were deficient in transcription initiation but still directed ς54 -holoenzyme to the promoter to form a closed complex. Four of these mutant proteins had amino acid substitutions in region I, which had been shown previously to be required for ς54 -holoenzyme to respond to the activator. From the remaining mutants, we identified four residues in region III which when altered affect the function of ς54 at some point after closed-complex formation. These results suggest that in addition to its role in core and DNA binding, region III participates in one or more steps of transcription initiation that follow closed-complex formation.
