The -10 region is a key promoter specificity determinant for the Bacillus subtilis extracytoplasmic-function sigma factors sigma(X) and sigma(W).

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Mar 2001

Qiu J, Helmann J D

Abstract excerpt

Transcriptional selectivity derives, in large part, from the sequence-specific DNA-binding properties of the sigma subunit of RNA polymerase. There are 17 sigma factors in Bacillus subtilis which, in general, recognize distinct sets of promoters. However, some sigma factors have overlapping promoter selectivity. We hypothesize that the overlap between the regulons activated by the sigma(X) and sigma(W) factors...
