Abstract excerpt
The gene for a developmentally expressed sigma-factor, sigB, has been isolated from Myxococcus xanthus by use of the sigA gene (formerly rpoD) of the vegetative sigma-factor as a probe. The sequence of sigB has been determined, and an open reading frame of 193 amino acid residues (Mr = 21,551) was identified. The amino-terminal region of SigB contains 69 residues, of which 35 are identical (50% identity) to the...
