Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Bacterial sigma (σ) factors confer gene specificity upon the RNA polymerase, the central enzyme that catalyses gene transcription. The binding of the alternative σ factor σ⁵⁴ confers upon the RNA polymerase special functional and regulatory properties, making it suited for control of several major adaptive responses. Here, we summarize our current understanding of the interactions the σ⁵⁴ factor makes with the bacterial transcription machinery.
