Abstract excerpt
The sigmaE regulon has been shown to perform a novel function that causes dead-cell lysis specific to the early stationary phase in addition to its well-known role in the extracytoplasmic stress response in Escherichia coli. Here, the effect of sigmaS as a general stress-responsive sigma factor on sigmaE-directed cell lysis was investigated. The lysis phenomena were observed in both rpoS mutant and parental...
