CommentThis model represents the transcription elongation factor/antiterminator, RfaH [1]. This protein is most closely related to the transcriptional termination/antitermination protein NusG (TIGR00922) and contains the KOW motif (PF00467) [2]. This protein appears to be limited to the gamma proteobacteria. In E. coli, this gene appears to control the expression of haemolysin, sex factor and lipopolysaccharide genes.
