Question
Chapter 6.10, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
The alternative sigma factors and the transcriptional regulators are used to control sets of genes in all cells. This regulator recognizes only certain promoters to allow transcription that belongs to most related environmental conditions. The excessive nutritional limitations and temperature response of a cell is overcome by the products that are produced by expressing certain sets of genes.
