The vast majority of experimental data have been accumulated on the transcription
regulation of individual genes within a single model prokaryote, Escherichia coli, which form …

Covering: 2016 to 2022 RNA polymerase (RNAP) is the central enzyme in bacterial gene
expression representing an attractive and validated target for antibiotics. Two well-known …

To monitor the ability of the food-borne opportunistic pathogen Bacillus cereus to survive
during minimal processing of food products, we determined its heat-adaptive response …

After determination of the whole genome sequence, the research frontier of bacterial
molecular genetics has shifted to reveal the genome regulation under stressful conditions in …

Omega (ω) is the smallest subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP). Although identified
early in RNAP research, its function remained ambiguous and shrouded by controversy for a …

Chloroplast genes encoding photosynthesis-associated proteins are predominantly
transcribed by the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (PEP). PEP is a multi-subunit complex …

Previous studies have come to conflicting conclusions about the requirement for the ω
subunit of RNA polymerase in bacterial transcription regulation. We demonstrate here that …

RNA polymerase I (RNAPI) and RNAPIII are multi-heterogenic protein complexes that
specialize in the transcription of highly abundant non-coding RNAs, such as ribosomal RNA …

Transcriptional regulation for genome expression determines growth and adaptation of
single-cell bacteria that are directly exposed to environment. The transcriptional apparatus …

The aetiological agent of tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, encodes 13 σ factors, as
well as several putative anti‐, and anti‐anti‐σ factors. Here we show that a σ factor that has …
