Abstract excerpt
MucA sequesters extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma(22) (algT/U encoded) from target promoters including PalgD for alginate biosynthesis. We have shown that cell wall stress (e.g. d-cycloserine) is a potent inducer of the algD operon. Here we showed that MucB, encoded by the algT-mucABCD operon, interacts with MucA in the sigma-sequestration complex. We hypothesized that AlgW protease (a DegS homologue) is...
