Abstract excerpt

Sigma factor sigma(28) (sigma(F), FliA, SigD) directs RNA polymerase to transcribe the genes required for flagellar biosynthesis and chemotaxis in many bacteria, including Bacillus subtilis, Legionella pneumophila, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Yersinia enterolytica, Treponema maltophilum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Remarkably the fliA gene from the extreme thermophile Aquifex aeolicus restored...
