Extracytoplasmic Function σ Factors Can Be Implemented as Robust Heterologous Genetic Switches in Bacillus subtilis

Summary: In bacteria, the promoter specificity of RNA polymerase is determined by interchangeable σ subunits. Extracytoplasmic function σ factors (ECFs) form the largest and most diverse family of alternative σ factors, and their suitability for constructing genetic switches and circuits was already...
