Control of The Master Virulence Regulatory Gene Atxa In Bacillus Anthracis
… containing either both virulence plasmids, pXO1 and pXO2, or only one plasmid, pXO1, were studied. This work demonstrates that <em>atxA</em> transcription from the major start site P1 is dependent upon a consensus sequence for the housekeeping sigma factor SigA, and an A+T-rich upstream …

Roles of Small Rnas and Paralogous Proteins In Bacillus Anthracis Virulence Gene Regulation
… two sRNAs encoded within the virulence plasmid pXO1 of <em>Bacillus anthracis</em>, the causative agent of anthrax. The sRNAs, named “XrrA and XrrB” (for pXO1-encoded regulatory RNA) are abundant and highly stable primary transcripts, whose expression is dependent upon AtxA, the master …

Modelling the spatial and temporal distribution of Bacillus anthracis suitability across Uganda and Kenya: A Bayesian Approach
… Through the action of two virulence plasmids, pXO1 and pXO2, the bacteria can evade host immunity and produce two toxins that can rapidly kill susceptible hosts, which then shed the bacteria back into the environment, resulting in recurrent outbreaks and catastrophic loss of animal life. The …
