Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis extracytoplasmic function sigma factor sigma(Y) is of unknown function. We demonstrate that the sigY operon is expressed from an autoregulatory promoter site, P(Y). We selected for transposon-induced mutations that upregulate P(Y) transcription in an attempt to identify genes involved in sigma(Y) regulation. The resulting insertions disrupted yxlC, the gene immediately downstream of sigY....
