Chapter 10, Problem 10RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The different ways through which the sigma factor activity/production is regulated.
Introduction:
Sigma factor activity is necessary for the proper initiation of transcription. The synthesis of the sigma factor is controlled by both transcriptional and translational levels. It is a factor that is responsible for the initiation of bacterial transcription which enables specific binding of RNA (ribonucleic acid) polymerase to promoters.
