S1_NusA: N-utilizing substance A protein (NusA), S1-like RNA-binding domain. S1-like RNA-binding domains are found in a wide variety of RNA-associated proteins. NusA is a transcription elongation factor containing an N-terminal catalytic domain and three RNA binding domains (RBD's). The RBD's include one S1 domain and two KH domains that form an RNA binding surface. DNA transcription by RNA polymerase (RNAP) includes three phases - initiation, elongation, and termination. During initiation, sigma factors bind RNAP and target RNAP to specific promoters. During elongation, N-utilization substances (NusA, B, E, and G) replace sigma factors and regulate pausing, termination, and antitermination. NusA is cold-shock-inducible.
