Abstract excerpt
The RNA polymerase core associated with sigma(S) transcribes many genes related to stress or to the stationary phase. When cells enter a phase of phosphate starvation, the transcription of several genes and operons, collectively known as the PHO regulon, is strongly induced. The promoters of the PHO genes hitherto analysed are recognized by sigma(D)-associated RNA polymerase. A mutation in the gene that encodes...
