Deep sequencing whole transcriptome exploration of the σE regulon in Neisseria meningitidis. by Robert Antonius Gerhardus Huis in 't Veld, Antonius Marcellinus Willemsen, Antonius Hubertus Cornelis van Kampen, Edward John Bradley, Frank Baas, Yvonne Pannekoek, Arie van der Ende

“…Recently, we have described the existence of a σ(E) regulon including the anti-σ-factor MseR in the obligate human bacterial pathogen Neisseria meningitidis. To unravel the complete σ(E) regulon in N. meningitidis, we sequenced total RNA transcriptional content of wild type meningococci and compared it with that of mseR mutant cells (ΔmseR) in which σ(E) is highly expressed. …”
