case <OC:Enterobacterales>
Function | Enhances distal genes transcription elongation in a specialized subset of operons that encode extracytoplasmic components. RfaH is recruited into a multi-component RNA polymerase complex by the ops element, which is a short conserved DNA sequence located downstream of the main promoter of these operons. Once bound, RfaH suppresses pausing and inhibits Rho-dependent and intrinsic termination at a subset of sites. Termination signals are bypassed, which allows complete synthesis of long RNA chains. |

end case
Subunit | Interacts with both the nontemplate DNA and the RNA polymerase (RNAP). |
Similarity | Belongs to the RfaH family. |
