Abstract excerpt
The Spx protein of Bacillus subtilis exerts both positive and negative transcriptional control in response to oxidative stress by interacting with the C-terminal domain of the RNA polymerase (RNAP) alpha subunit (alphaCTD). Thus, transcription of the srf operon at the onset of competence development, which requires the ComA response regulator of the ComPA signal transduction system, is repressed by Spx-alphaCTD...
