Identification of target promoters for the Bacillus subtilis sigma X factor using a consensus-directed search.

Journal of molecular biology - 29 May 1998

Huang X, Helmann J D

Abstract excerpt

The promoter selectivity of RNA polymerase (RNAP) can be altered by the association with alternative sigma subunits. Bacillus subtilis hosts a multitude of sigma factors, several of which coordinate the complex developmental program culminating in endospore formation. Genome sequencing has reveal...
