Role of region C in regulation of the heat shock gene-specific sigma factor of Escherichia coli, sigma32.

Abstract excerpt

Expression of heat shock genes is controlled in Escherichia coli by the antagonistic action of the sigma32 subunit of RNA polymerase and the DnaK chaperone system, which inactivates sigma32 by stress-dependent association and mediates sigma32 degradation by the FtsH protease. A stretch of 23 residues (R122 to Q144) conserved among sigma32 homologs, termed region C, was proposed to play a role in sigma32...
