… protection against a particular stress factor. In … stress factor induces its specific set of proteins,
the SSPs, which may exert a specific protective function against a unique stress factor. The …

… These groups of proteins might have a specific protective function against a single stimulus
that might allow the cell to neutralize the stress factor, adapt to its presence or repair damage …

… process of Bacillus subtilis, controlled by a cascade of at least six different sigma factors (13, …
Gene encoding the sigma-37 species of RNA polymerase sigma factor from Bacillus subtilis…

… induction of this protein group was shown to be mediated by the alternative sigma factor ς
B , the general stress sigma factor of gram-positive bacteria. WG Haldenwang and R. Losick …

… Diagram of SigB regulatory pathways of general stress response under stress conditions in
Bacillus subtilis. Energy stress activates the PP2C-type phosphatase RsbP (P for simplicity) …

… RsbW is an anti-sigma factor which inhibits SigB activity. SigB is activated after stress by
the activation of RsbV, an anti-anti-sigma factor, which binds to RsbW, thereby releasing it and …
