Identification of target promoters for the Bacillus subtilis extracytoplasmic function sigma factor, sigma W.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jan 1999

Abstract excerpt

The Bacillus subtilis sigW gene encodes an extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor that is expressed in early stationary phase from a sigW-dependent autoregulatory promoter, PW. Using a consensus-based search procedure, we have identified 15 operons preceded by promoters similar in sequence to PW. At least 14 of these promoters are dependent on sigma W both in vivo and in vitro as judged by lacZ reporter...
