Transcription termination factor Rho is a ring-shaped RNA-DNA helicase that induces release of transcription complexes at specific loci of bacterial genomes. Several structures of Rho in various liganded states haven been solved by X-ray crystallography by the J. M. Berger lab (Berkeley): 1a8v, 1pv4, 1pvo, 1xpr, 1xpu, 2a8v, and 2ht1.
The asymmetric unit solved as 2ht1 contains only two chains, so it represents only one third of the biological unit, which is a homo-hexamer. The scene here shows this homo-hexamer in a closed state ()[1]. In this model (), the Protein hexamer is bound to RNA, and some incidental "Solvent" (sulfate ions).
Here is one representation showing the same Rho hexamer in a closed state and with .
