Deep sequencing whole transcriptome exploration of the σE regulon in Neisseria meningitidis.

Bacteria live in an ever-changing environment and must alter protein expression promptly to adapt to these changes and survive. Specific response genes that are regulated by a subset of alternative σ(70)-like transcription factors have evolved in order to respond to this changing environment. Recent...
