To obtain insight into the in vivo dynamics of RNA polymerase (RNAP) on the Bacillus subtilis genome, we analyzed the distribution of the σ(A) and β' subunits of RNAP and the NusA elongation factor on the genome in exponentially growing cells using chromatin affinity precipitation coupled with gene chip mapping (ChAP-chip). In contrast to Escherichia coli RNAP, which often accumulates at the promoter-proximal region, B. subtilis RΝΑP is evenly distributed from the promoter to the coding sequence ...[more]
