Activation of the Extracytoplasmic Function σ factor σ <sup>P</sup> by β-lactams in <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> requires the site-2 protease RasP

2019-07-18

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria can utilize alternative σ factors to regulate sets of genes in response to changes in the environment. The largest and most diverse group of alternative σ factors are the Extracytoplasmic Function (ECF) σ factors. σ P is an ECF σ factor found in Bacillus anthracis , B. cereus , and B. thuringiensis . Previous work showed σ P is induced by ampicillin, a β-lactam antibiotic, and required for resistance...
