Abstract excerpt
The duplicated hasR and hasL genes of Streptomyces ambofaciens encode alternative sigma factors (named sigma(B(R)) and sigma(B(L))) belonging to the sigma(B) general stress response family in Bacillus subtilis. The duplication appears to be the result of a recent event that occurred specifically in S. ambofaciens. The two genes are 98% identical, and their deduced protein products exhibit 97% identity at the...
