Title Flagellar anti-σ factor FlgM actively dissociates Salmonella typhimurium σ28 RNA polymerase holoenzyme
Date 1998
Description The anti-σ factor FlgM of Salmonella typhimurium inhibits transcription of class 3 flagellar genes through a direct interaction with the flagellar-specific σ factor, σ28. FlgM is believed to prevent RNA polymerase (RNAP) holoenzyme formation by sequestering free σ28. We have analyzed FlgM-mediated inhibition of σ28 activity in vitro. FlgM is able to inhibit σ28 activity even when σ28 is first allowed to associate with core RNAP. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used to evaluate the interaction between FlgM and both σ28 and σ28 holoenzyme (Eσ28).
