The frequency of transcription of the ribosomal protein and RNA polymerase gene segments of the rplKAJL-rpoBC gene cluster was measured for Escherichia coli K-12 strains carrying mutations in the genes for transcriptional termination factors. The results of our study suggest that Rho increases and that both NusA and the product of sfrB decrease termination frequency in the rplL-rpoB intercistronic region.
