Disease relevance of rpoD

  • A. capsulatum RpoD restored normal growth to E. coli strain CAG20153 under conditions that prevent expression of the endogenous rpoD [1].
  • To begin to address this gap, we identified the gene encoding the A. capsulatum major sigma factor, rpoD, which encodes a 597-amino acid protein with a predicted sequence highly similar to the major sigma factors of Solibacter usitatus Ellin6076 and Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA [1].
  • Evidence is presented that the activation of the RNA polymerase sigma factor sigma(W) in Bacillus subtilis by regulated intramembrane proteolysis is governed by a novel, membrane-embedded protease [2].
