We have identified close contacts between a novel form ofBacillus subtilisRNA polymerase containing a 37,000 molecular weight species of sigma factor (σ37) and a cognate chromosomal promoterspoVC. Close contacts were visualized by examining the pattern of purine methylation by dimethyl sulphate subsequent to binding by RNA polymerase. Five guanines and four adenines were identified whose methylation was enhanced or suppressed byσ37-containing RNA polymerase. These bases were clustered in two regions (centered at 35 and 10 base-pairs preceding the start-point of transcription) that corresponded inpositionto regions known to be important in promoter recognition by the principal forms of RNA polymerase holoenzyme inB. subtilis(containingσ55) andEscherichia coli.
