Abstract excerpt
Sigma(38) is a non-essential but highly homologous member of the sigma(70) family of transcription factors. In vitro mutagenesis and in vivo screening were used to identify 22 critical amino acids in the promoter interaction domain of Escherichia coli sigma(38). Electrophoretic mobility shift assay studies showed that residues involved in duplex DNA binding largely segregated into distinct regions that coincided...
