Phenotypes of a mutant
[gene|081DF3EE9FA56209D648C7677188C61CE3AA8E41|sigM] is essential for growth and survival in nutrient broth (NB) containing 1.4 M NaCl [Pubmed|10216858]
[gene|081DF3EE9FA56209D648C7677188C61CE3AA8E41|sigM] mutants form aberrantly shaped cells, which swell and lyse spontaneously during growth in NB medium containing increased levels (0.35-0.7 M) of a wide range of different salts [Pubmed|10216858]
increased sensitivity towards beta-lactam antibiotics [Pubmed|22211522]

shortage of available bactoprenol causes [protein|081DF3EE9FA56209D648C7677188C61CE3AA8E41|sigM] activation [Pubmed|23632331]
antibiotics that block UndP recycling result in activation of SigM [pubmed|38683856]
SigM is released from the YhdL-YhdK complex upon undecaprenyl-phosphate limitation [pubmed|38683856]
