Functional narrative    

Acts as a transcription anti-termination factor immediately after transcription initiation, but does not affect transcription elongation. This function has been found to be dependent on the formation of a RNA stem-loop at the transcription start site of the first gene. Binds to RNA.

Region 1: 27-40

Comments:
Increased RNA affinity at low pH. Binding ability is strongly dependent upon presence of Zn2+.
