The alternative sigma factor SigF of Mycobacterium smegmatis is required for survival of heat shock, acidic pH and oxidative stress.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Sept 2008

Gebhard Susanne, Hümpel Anja, McLellan Alexander D, Cook Gregory M

Abstract excerpt

The alternative sigma factor SigF of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been characterized in detail as a general-stress, stationary-phase sigma factor involved in the virulence of the bacterium. While a homologous gene has been annotated in the genome of the fast-growing Mycobacterium smegmatis, little experimental evidence is available on the function of this gene. Here, we demonstrate that SigF of M. smegmatis is...
