Identification of the alternative sigma factor regulons of Chlamydia trachomatis using multiplexed CRISPR interference
25 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Chlamydia trachomatis is a developmentally regulated, obligate intracellular bacterium that encodes three sigma factors: σ66, σ54, and σ28. σ66 is the major sigma factor controlling most transcription initiation during early- and mid-cycle development as the infectious elementary body (EB) transitions to the non-infectious reticulate body (RB) that replicates within an inclusion inside the cell.
