Abstract
rsbU-1 polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such rsbU-1 and a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such rsbU-1 for the treatment of infection, particularly bacterial infections. Antagonists against such rsbU-1 and their use as a therapeutic to treat infections, particularly bacterial infections are also disclosed. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting diseases related to the presence of rsbU-1 nucleic acid sequences and the polypeptides in a host. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting polynucleotides encoding SigB operon and for detecting the polypeptide in a host.
