| Abstract | As a means of determining the function of sigma 29, a sporulation-essential sigma factor, we have isolated and begun to characterize genes that require sigma 29 for their expression. RNA transcribed in vitro from total Bacillus subtilis DNA by using sigma 29-containing RNA polymerase (E-sigma-29) was hybridized to a bank of B. subtilis DNA fragments that had been cloned into bacteriophage lambda. Approximately 0.25% of the cloned B. subtilis DNA fragments displayed detectable hybridization with our RNA probe. Five DNA fragments that had strong in vitro template activity for E-sigma-29 were selected for further study. The DNA fragments which contained in vitro sigma 29 promoter activity encoded RNAs that were synthesized by B. subtilis during sporulation. Mutant B. subtilis that failed to synthesize sigma 29 (spoIIA, spoIIE) made less RNA that could hybridize to these cloned DNAs than did a mutant (spoIIC) which did synthesize sigma 29 but was blocked at a similar stage in development. A detailed analysis of several of the cloned DNAs demonstrated that they encoded RNAs that were transcribed from approximately the same start site in vivo that E-sigma-29 initiated transcription in vitro. These particular transcripts were present only during the period of sigma-29 abundance (2 to 4 h after the onset of sporulation) in sporulating cells which carried a wild-type allele of the sigma-29 structural gene (spoIIG). We conclude that the isolation procedure used in this study identified genes that are transcribed by E-sigma 29, not only in vitro but also in vivo. Preliminary characterization of the cloned genes indicate that they encoded multiple overlapping RNAs which were each synthesized at unique times during growth or sporulation. This result implies that sigma 29 does not activate a unique population of genes with a novel function in sporulation but rather that it has a temporal role in spore gene control, transcribing those genes required to be active during its period of abundance regardless of their specific function. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
