Structural basis for transcription initiation by bacterial ECF σ factors

Extra-cytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factors allow bacteria to rapidly respond to stress conditions. Here the authors provide insights into the mechanism of bacterial stress-induced transcription by determining the crystal structures of the M. tuberculosis ECF σ factor bound RNA Polymerase (RNAP) holo...

description Extra-cytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factors allow bacteria to rapidly respond to stress conditions. Here the authors provide insights into the mechanism of bacterial stress-induced transcription by determining the crystal structures of the M. tuberculosis ECF σ factor bound RNA Polymerase (RNAP) holoenzyme and the ECF σ factor-RNAP transcription initiation complex.
