Quantitative analysis of asynchronous transcription-translation and transcription processivity in Bacillus subtilis under various growth conditions

Summary: Tight coordination between transcription and translation has long been recognized as the hallmark of gene expression in bacteria. In Escherichia coli cells, disruption of the transcription-translation coordination leads to the loss of transcription processivity via triggering Rho-mediated p...
