Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the gene osmE of Escherichia coli is osmotically inducible and regulated by the growth phase. Expression of osmE is directed by a single promoter, osmE (p), which is recognized by Esigma(70) and Esigma(s), two forms of RNA polymerase using, respectively, the sigma factors sigma(70) and sigma(s). Esigma(s) transcribes osmE (p) during entry into stationary phase. Esigma(70) is responsible for...
