The Escherichia coli strain, ts-rnp5, originally described in 1975 by G. D. Burdick and H. Berger, is shown to possess an RNA polymerase (RNA nucleotidyltransferase) σ subunit with an activity 4-6 times less thermostable at 45 degrees than σ from wild-type strains. This defect remains associated with the σ polypeptide through a variety of purification stages, including renaturation of σ after its elution from sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gels. The mutation responsible for decreased thermostability of σ , called rpoD1, cotransduces with dnaG and therefore is located at about 66 min on the E. coli genetic map.
