Structural basis of RNA-guided transcription by a dCas12f–σE–RNAP complex

Structural basis of RNA-guided transcription by a dCas12f–σE–RNAP complex

Cryogenic electron microscopy reveals how dCas12f with σE recruits RNAP to targeted DNA, initiating transcription at a fixed downstream distance, bypassing canonical −35 recognition and stabilizing the −10 element in an unusual manner.
