Expertise: In our laboratory we study molecular aspects of transcription. Our main focus is on sigma factors – transcriptional regulatory proteins that are the master regulators of gene expression in bacteria.
We are particularly interested in understanding the mechanism by which non-canonical sigma factors interact with RNA polymerase, target holoenzyme to promoter DNA, and stabilize open-complex promoter intermediates during the transcription initiation process
