ABSTRACT The Escherichia coli Rsd protein forms complexes with the RNA polymerase σ70 factor, but its biological role is not understood. Transcriptome analysis shows that overexpression of Rsd causes increased expression from some promoters whose expression depends on the alternative σ38 factor, and this was confirmed by experiments with lac fusions at selected promoters. The LP18 substitution in Rsd increases the Rsd-dependent stimulation of these promoter-lac fusions. Analysis with a bacterial two-hybrid system shows that the LP18 substitution in Rsd increases its interaction with σ70. Our experiments support a model in which the role of Rsd is primarily to sequester σ70, thereby increasing the levels of RNA polymerase containing the alternative σ38 factor.
