Rw. Prince et al., CLONING AND SEQUENCING OF THE GENE ENCODING THE RPOS (KATF) SIGMA-FACTOR FROM SALMONELLA-TYPHIMURIUM 14028S, Biochimica et biophysica acta, N. Gene structure and expression, 1219(1), 1994, pp. 198-200
The gene encoding the alternative sigma factor RpoS in Salmonella typh
imurium was cloned by its ability to complement acid susceptibility in
rpoS mutant Escherichia coli. Sequence determination and comparison w
ith rpoS from E. coli demonstrates a high degree of conservation, alth
ough significant differences are found within the extragenic regulator
y regions.
