Indian Scientists Redefine Bacterial Gene Regulation

Researchers from the Bose Institute in collaboration with Rutgers University have challenged a long-standing model of bacterial gene regulation. The study finds that the transcription initiation factor in Bacillus subtilis, contrary to the established model primarily observed in E. coli, remains attached throughout transcription, rewriting assumptions about bacterial gene regulation

Indian Scientists Rewrite 50-Year-Old Biological Rule

A new study by researchers from the Bose Institute and Rutgers University challenges the long-standing sigma cycle model of bacterial gene regulation, revealing that the transcription initiation factor σA in Bacillus subtilis remains bound to RNA polymerase throughout transcription. This finding has significant implications for understanding bacterial physiology, stress response,
