title: Purification and properties of D protein: a transcription factor of Escherichia coli.
abstract: D factor is protein that stimulates DNA transcription in vitro by RNA polymerase. For DNA from bacteriophage lambda, we present evidence that D protein interacts with DNA to increase the frequency and improve the specificity of initiation by RNA polymerase.
