Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors constitute a large family of bacterial transcriptional regulators that direct transcription in response to various stresses and have different mechanisms ...

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg have described a previously unrecognized mechanism of bacterial transcriptional regulation that is obviously ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 99, No. 4 (Feb. 19, 2002), pp. 1831-1835 (5 pages) Anti-sigma factors regulate prokaryotic gene expression through ...

Changing of principal σ factor in RNA polymerase holoenzyme to a group 2 σ factor redirects transcription when cyanobacteria acclimate to suboptimal environmental conditions. The group 2 sigma factor ...

Researchers have described a previously unrecognized mechanism of bacterial transcriptional regulation that is obviously widespread in bacteria. In the future, their findings could also help fight ...
