The Anti-sigma Factor RsiV Is a Bacterial Receptor for Lysozyme: Co-crystal Structure Determination and Demonstration That Binding of Lysozyme to RsiV Is Required for σV Activation. [PDF]
PLoS Genet, 2016 σ factors provide RNA polymerase with promoter specificity in bacteria. Some σ factors require activation in order to interact with RNA polymerase and transcribe target genes.

RshA, an anti‐sigma factor that regulates the activity of the mycobacterial stress response sigma factor SigH [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2003 SummarySigH, an alternative sigma factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a central regulator of the response to oxidative and heat stress. Exposure to these stresses results in increased expression of sigH itself, and of genes encoding additional regulators and effectors of the bacterial response to these stresses.

BMC Genomics, 2012 Background The expression of genes in Corynebacterium glutamicum, a Gram-positive non-pathogenic bacterium used mainly for the industrial production of amino acids, is regulated by seven different sigma factors of RNA polymerase, including the stress ...

Interactions between a Bacillus subtilis anti-sigma factor (RsbW) and its antagonist (RsbV) [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1994 The activity of sigma B, a secondary sigma factor of Bacillus subtilis, is primarily controlled by an anti-sigma factor protein (RsbW) that binds to sigma B and blocks its ability to form an RNA polymerase holoenzyme (E-sigma B). Inhibition of sigma B by RsbW is counteracted by RsbV, a protein that is essential for the activation of sigma B-dependent ...

The N-Terminal Domain of LIC12756 Is the Key Determinant of This Protein’s Anti-Sigma Activity Toward LIC12757 in Pathogenic Leptospira interrogans [PDF]
PathogensExtracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factors are central regulators of bacterial adaptation to environmental changes. The genome of Leptospira interrogans encodes 11 such factors, including LIC12757. Previous studies have shown that LIC12757 is regulated by

A unique sigma/anti-sigma system in the actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis
Nature Communications, 2023 Bacteria of the genus Actinoplanes form sporangia that contain dormant sporangiospores which, upon contact with water, release motile spores (zoospores) through a process called sporangium dehiscence.
