Glucose induces ECF sigma factor genes, sigX and sigM, independent of cognate anti-sigma factors through acetylation of CshA in Bacillus subtilis

Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factors have roles related to cell envelope and/or cell membrane functions, in addition to other cellular functions. Without cell-surface stresses, ECF σ factors are sequestered by the cognate anti-σ factor, leading to inactivation and the resultant repression of re...
