Abstract excerpt
The general stress response of Bacillus subtilis is controlled by the activity state of the sigma(B) transcription factor. Physical stress is communicated to sigma(B) via a large-molecular-mass (>10(6)-Da) structure (the stressosome) formed by one or more members of a family of homologous proteins (RsbR, YkoB, YojH, YqhA). The positive regulator (RsbT) of the sigma(B) stress induction pathway is incorporated into...
