Inorganic phosphate, arsenate, and vanadate enhance exonuclease transcript cleavage by RNA polymerase by 2000-fold

Inorganic P(i) is involved in all major biochemical pathways. Here we describe a previously unreported activity of P(i). We show that P(i) and its structural mimics, vanadate and arsenate, enhance nascent transcript cleavage by RNA polymerase (RNAP). They engage an Mg(2+) ion in catalysis and activa...
