Bacterial sigma factors as targets for engineered or synthetic transcriptional control
Sigma (σ) factors are the predominant constituents of transcription regulation in bacteria. σ factors recruit the core RNA polymerase (RNAP) to recognize promoters with specific DNA sequences. Recently engineering of transcriptional regulators has become a significant tool for strain engineering. Th...
