Structural basis of template strand deoxyuridine promoter recognition by a viral RNA polymerase
Promoter recognition is a critical step in the initiation of transcription of DNA to RNA. Here, the authors describe a novel mechanism by which a phage-encoded RNA polymerase recognizes viral promoters containing deoxyuridines instead of thymidines.
