A Screen for <italic toggle="yes">rfaH</italic> Suppressors Reveals a Key Role for a Connector Region of Termination Factor Rho

ABSTRACT RfaH activates horizontally acquired operons that encode lipopolysaccharide core components, pili, toxins, and capsules. Unlike its paralog NusG, which potentiates Rho-mediated silencing, RfaH strongly inhibits Rho. RfaH is recruited to its target operons via a network of contacts with an e...
