Abstract excerpt
Transcription factor sigma(28) in Chlamydia trachomatis (sigma(28)(Ct)) plays a role in the regulation of genes that are important for late-stage morphological differentiation. In vitro mutational and genetic screening in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium was performed in order to identify mutants with mutations in region 4 of sigma(28)(Ct) that were defective in sigma(28)-specific transcription. Specially,...
