Regulons of three Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 iron starvation sigma factors.

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 contains genes for 15 sigma factors. The majority are members of the extracytoplasmic function class of sigma factors, including five that belong to the iron starvation subgroup. In this study, we identified the genes controlled by three iron starvation sigma factors. Their regulons are composed of a small number of genes likely to be involved in iron uptake.
