Bacterial transcription initiation mainly occurs via two diverse RNA polymerases, namely
70 and 54. While 70 polymerase transcribes housekeeping genes and does not require
any external activation to form transcriptionally competent open complex, the alternate
polymerase 54 require regulatory proteins, typically AAA+ ATPases, that aid in converting
the closed RNA polymerase complex to an active open state.1,2 External stimuli and
