User:Ppgardne/SurC RNA

SurC is an sRNA first identified in Bacillus subtilis in a screen for sRNA genes under sporulation control. SurC is located in the 199 nucleotide long region between dnaJ and dnaK, was switched on at a late stage of sporulation by the RNA polymerase sigma factor $$\sigma^{K}$$, which directs gene transcription in the mother cell compartment of the developing sporangium.
