Insights into the complex regulation of rpoS in Borrelia burgdorferi

Co-ordinated regulation of gene expression is required for the transmission and survival of Borrelia burgdorferi in different hosts. The sigma factor RpoS (σS), as regulated by RpoN (σ54), has been shown to regulate key virulence factors (e.g. OspC) required for these processes. As important, multip...
