Signalling network with a bistable hysteretic switch controls developmental activation of the sigma transcription factor in Bacillus subtilis.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jul 2006

Igoshin Oleg A, Price Chester W, Savageau Michael A

Abstract excerpt

The sporulation process of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis unfolds by means of separate but co-ordinated programmes of gene expression within two unequal cell compartments, the mother cell and the smaller forespore. sigmaF is the first compartment-specific transcription factor activated during this process, and it is controlled at the post-translational level by a partner-switching mechanism that restricts sigmaF...
