1. Seqüenciamento e variabilidade do fragmento genômico de Xylella fastidiosa amplificado pelos iniciadores RST31/33
Xylella fastidiosa é agente causal de diversas doenças de importância econômica como a clorose variegada dos citros (Citrus spp.) (CVC), mal de Pierce da videira (Vitis vinifera), escaldadura da ameixeira (Prunus salicina) e requeima do cafeeiro (Coffea arabica). A seqüência nucleotídica do fragmento genômico, específico de X. fastidiosa, amplificad

2. Nucleotide sequence and organization of Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase major sigma (sigma 43) operon.
The gene coding for Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase major sigma 43, rpoD, was cloned together with its neighboring genes in a 7 kb EcoRI fragment. The complete nucleotide sequence of a 5 kb fragment including the entire rpoD gene revealed the presence of two other genes preceding rpoD in the order P23-dnaE-rpoD. The dnaE codes for DNA primase while the func

3. Roles for Sigma Factors in Global Circadian Regulation of the Cyanobacterial Genome
The circadian clock of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 imposes a global rhythm of transcription on promoters throughout the genome. Inactivation of any of the four known group 2 sigma factor genes (rpoD2, rpoD3, rpoD4, and sigC), singly or pairwise, altered circadian expression from the psbAI promoter, changing amplitude, phas

4. Gene for the RNA polymerase sigma subunit mapped in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli by cloning and deletion.
The genes for the RNA polymerase sigma subunit (rpoD) and DNA primase (dnaG) of Salmonella typhimurium have been cloned into lambda vectors. Combined restriction, deletion and functional analysis of the cloned fragment allows us to map the genes precisely on the fragment, establishes the direction in which rpoD is transcribed, and reveals the existence of at

5. Transcriptional characterization of the Rickettsia prowazekii major macromolecular synthesis operon.
Recent studies have demonstrated that Rickettsia prowazekii can regulate transcription of selected genes at the level of initiation. However, little information concerning the existence of operons and coordinate gene regulation in this obligate intracellular parasitic bacterium is available. To address these issues, we have focused on the rpoD gene linkage g

6. A mutant sigma 32 with a small deletion in conserved region 3 of sigma has reduced affinity for core RNA polymerase.
sigma 70, encoded by rpoD, is the major sigma factor in Escherichia coli. rpoD285 (rpoD800) is a small deletion mutation in rpoD that confers a temperature-sensitive growth phenotype because the mutant sigma 70 is rapidly degraded at high temperature. Extragenic mutations which reduce the rate of degradation of RpoD285 sigma 70 permit growth at high temperat

7. Evidence for use of rare codons in the dnaG gene and other regulatory genes of Escherichia coli.
Amino acid sequence and composition data of Escherichia coli dnaG primase protein and its tryptic peptides have confirmed that the dnaG gene contains an unusually high number of codons that are not frequently used in most E. coli genes. In 25 E. coli proteins analyzed the codons AUA, UCG, CCU, CCC, ACG, CAA, AAT, and AGG are infrequently used, occurring as 4

8. Characterization of csh203::Tn917lac, a mutation in Bacillus subtilis that makes the sporulation sigma factor sigma-H essential for normal vegetative growth.
spo0H encodes a sigma factor, sigma-H, of RNA polymerase that is required for sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Null mutations in spo0H block the initiation of sporulation but have no obvious effect on vegetative growth. We have characterized an insertion mutation, csh203::Tn917lac, that makes spo0H essential for normal growth. In otherwise wild-type cells,

9. Isolation and physical mapping of the gene encoding the major sigma factor of Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase.
At least four sigma factors separately bind the Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase core (beta beta' alpha 2), each conferring a different promoter specificity on the holoenzyme in vitro. Using the Broome-Gilbert immunological screening, we isolated recombinant lambda phages that carry rpoD, the gene for the most abundant sigma factor, sigma 55. These phages en

10. A sigma factor that modifies the circadian expression of a subset of genes in cyanobacteria.
We isolated mutants affected in the circadian expression of the psbAI gene in Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 using a strategy that tags the genomic locus responsible for the mutant phenotype. The search identified one short period (22 h) mutant (M2) and two low amplitude mutants, one of which showed apparent arhythmia (M11) and one that was still clearly

11. How a mutation in the gene encoding sigma 70 suppresses the defective heat shock response caused by a mutation in the gene encoding sigma 32.
In Escherichia coli, transcription of the heat shock genes is regulated by sigma 32, the alternative sigma factor directing RNA polymerase to heat shock promoters. sigma 32, encoded by rpoH (htpR), is normally present in limiting amounts in cells. Upon temperature upshift, the amount of sigma 32 transiently increases, resulting in the transient increase in t

12. Catabolite-resistant sporulation (crsA) mutations in the Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase sigma 43 gene (rpoD) can suppress and be suppressed by mutations in spo0 genes.
The catabolite-resistant sporulation (crsA) mutation is able to overcome the repressive effect of glucose on sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Three chromosomal crsA mutations, crsA1, crsA4, and crsA47, were transferred by the "gene conversion" process to B. subtilis plasmid pRPD11, which consists of the entire wild-type rpoD coding sequence, encoding the ma
