The RNA polymerase gene specificity factor σ <sup>54</sup> is required for homogeneous non-planktonic growth of uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2022-01-14
Abstract excerpt
The canonical function of a bacterial sigma (σ) factor is to determine the gene specificity of the RNA polymerase (RNAP). In several diverse bacterial species, the σ 54 factor uniquely confers distinct functional and regulatory properties on the RNAP. A hallmark feature of the σ 54 -RNAP is the obligatory requirement for an activator ATPase to allow transcription initiation. The genes that rely upon σ 54 for th...
