SigM-responsive genes of Bacillus subtilis and their promoters

J Bacteriol. 2007 Jun;189(12):4534-8. doi: 10.1128/JB.00130-07. Epub 2007 Apr 13.

Abstract

Promoters of nine Bacillus subtilis genes (bcrC, yacK, ydaH, yfnI, yjbD, ypbG, ypuA, yraA, and ysxA), all responsive to artificially induced increases in the stress-responsive extracytoplasmic function sigma factor, SigM, were mapped by rapid amplification of cDNA ends-PCR. The resulting promoter consensus suggests that overlapping control by SigX or SigW is common.
