Stress triggers a process that limits activation of the Bacillus subtilis stress transcription factor omegaB

Stress-induced activation of the Bacillus subtilis transcription factor sigmaB is transitory. To determine whether the process that limits sigmaB activation is itself triggered by stress, B. subtilis strains in which the stress pathway was artificially activated by the induced expression of a positi...

Summary:Stress-induced activation of the Bacillus subtilis transcription factor sigmaB is transitory. To determine whether the process that limits sigmaB activation is itself triggered by stress, B. subtilis strains in which the stress pathway was artificially activated by the induced expression of a positive regulatory protein (RsbT) were exposed to ethanol stress and were monitored for the persistence of sigmaB activity.
