Dynamic expression range expansion of ECF sigma factor-dependent synthetic regulons by promoter context engineering

Alternative {sigma} factors enable bacteria to reprogram transcription in response to environmental cues and provide powerful tools for synthetic gene regulation. Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) {sigma} factors have recently been implemented as orthogonal transcriptional switches in several bacteria, including the -proteobacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti. Here, we investigated how promoter…
