Abstract excerpt
Regulation of the enzootic cycle in Borrelia burgdorferi requires a shift to the RNA polymerase alternative sigma factor, RpoS. We used in vitro and in vivo assays to assess the relative importance of the putative Shine-Dalgarno sequence and its sequestration for the translational efficiency of rpoS. We created mutant leader regions in which we either removed the Shine-Dalgarno sequence, disrupted the secondary...
