Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, recent intensive studies revealed that expression of a certain subset of genes is under the control of the stationary phase-specific sigma factor, sigma S, which is encoded by the rpoS gene. Since sigma S functions predominantly under certain growth conditions, its activity and/or cellular content has accordingly to be tightly controlled, however, the underlying molecular mechanism is at...
