DESCRIPTION

Also known as RPOS_ECOLI, rpoS, appR, katF, nur, otsX, sigS. Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the master transcriptional regulator of the stationary phase and the general stress response. Controls, positively or negatively, the expression of several hundred genes, which are mainly involved in metabolism, transport, regulation and stress management., Protects stationary phase cells from killing induced by endoribonuclease MazF. Interacts with the RNA polymerase core enzyme and RssB.
