Mycobacterial HelD is a nucleic acids-clearing factor for RNA polymerase

The bacterial helicase-like transcription factor HelD associates with the RNA polymerase (RNAP) and recycles stalled transcription complexes. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of three Mycobacterium smegmatis HelD bound RNAP complexes and further show that HelD can prevent the binding...
