In cells mutant for the rpoS gene coding the sigma s subunit of RNA polymerase, synthesis of antibiotic microcin C51, which is produced by Escherichia coli, is absent or extremely reduced. In experiments with a cloned promoter of the microcin operon, the sigma s subunit was shown to participate in regulation of transcription of plasmid genes that determine microcin synthesis.
