ComWΔ6 Stimulates Transcription of Pneumococcal Competence Genes in vitro
The alternative streptococcal σ-factor and master competence regulator, σX, stimulates transcription from competence promoters, in vitro. As the only known alternative σ-factor in streptococci, σX expression is tightly controlled in each species and has a specific physiological role. Pneumococcal tr...
