GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. The obtained knowledge is relevant for various experiments, such as industrial fermentation, prolonged experimental evolution or zero-growth studies, where sporulation is an undesirable trait that should be avoided, e.g by a sigF mutation.
    Title: Transcriptional Profile of Bacillus subtilis sigF-Mutant during Vegetative Growth.
  2. effect of SpoIIAB and SpoIIAA protein concentrations on the prespore-specific activation of sigma(F) occurring in the early stage of sporulation
    Title: The systems approach to the prespore-specific activation of sigma factor SigF in Bacillus subtilis.
  3. Early in sporulation, the cell divides asymmetrically to give a smaller prespore and a larger mother cell. Differential gene expression in these compartments depends on the regulation of the sigma F which is activated only in the prespore
    Title: Differential gene expression in genetically identical sister cells: the initiation of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.
  4. Developmental commitment during sporulation is governed by the transcription factors sigma(F) and sigma(E), which are activated in the forespore and the mother cell, respectively.
