Luminescence resonance energy transfer measurements were used to show that binding of E. coli core RNA polymerase induced major changes in interdomain distances in the sigma(70) subunit. The simplest model describing core-induced changes in sigma(70) involves a movement of the conserved region 1 by similar to 20 Angstrom and the conserved region 4.2 by similar to 15 Angstrom with respect to conserved region 2. The core-induced movement of region 1 (autoinhibition domain) and region 4.2 (DNA-binding domain) provides structural rationale for allosteric regulation of sigma(70) DNA binding properties by the core and suggests that this regulation may not only involve directly the autoinhibition domain of sigma(70) but also could involve a modulation of spacing between DNA-binding domains of sigma(70) induced by binding of core RNAP.
