Abstract excerpt
The alternative sigma factor, RpoN (sigma 54) is responsible for recruiting core RNA polymerase to the promoters of genes required for diverse physiological functions in a variety of eubacterial species. The RpoN protein in Rhodobacter capsulatus is a putative sigma factor specific for nitrogen fixation (nif) genes. Insertional mutagenesis was used to define regions important for the function of the R. capsulatus...
