Isolation and sequence of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis sigma factor.
A DNA segment from Mycobacterium tuberculosis containing a gene for a putative sigma factor was isolated and sequenced. The protein encoded by this gene is 92% similar to the Mycobacterium smegmatis sigma factor MysB, and has been designated Mtu SigB. A Mycobacterium leprae homologue of mysB and mtu sigB was identified in the database.
