Distribution of Sigma factors delineates segregation of virulent and avirulent <i>Mycobacterium</i>

2017-12-19

Abstract excerpt

Sigma factors, in combination with RNA polymerase and several transcription factors play specific role in expression of housekeeping as well as various stress responsive genes in mycobacterial species. The genus Mycobacterium includes a wide range of species under major pathogens, opportunists and non-pathogens. The number and combination of sigma factors is extremely diversified among Mycobacterium . We have pe...
