FIGURE 6.

Model summarizing the major steps of E. coli 6S RNA release (bottom) relative to those of transcriptional initiation (top). Conserved sequence of 6S RNA in γ-proteobacteria is shown in purple; pRNA is in blue; and template strand is light brown and nontemplate is dark brown. Initiation and elongation factors have the potential to interact with and regulate 6S RNA release as indicated.
