Main research interests

My current research is focused on studies of molecular mechanisms of transcription in bacteria, including analysis of transcription regulation by DNA and RNA-encoded signals, protein transcription factors and small molecules. I also develop novel types of promoter substrates and RNA polymerase inhibitors based on highly specific aptamer ligands to bacterial RNA polymerase.
 
My recent projects include:
1) investigation of the mechanisms of action of different transcription inhibitors, including rifampicin;
2) selection of aptamers to different epitopes of bacterial RNAP;
3) analysis of the mechanisms of nucleotide selection by RNAP;
4) analysis of general principles of transcription on single-stranded templates;
5) investigation of the roles of different regions of the sigma subunit in transcription initiation;
6) analysis of the roles of conserved DNA-interacting regions of RNAP at various stages of transcription.
