UniProtKB accession:  Q45585

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase (RNAP) to specific initiation sites and are then released. Sigma-W controls genes involved in response to cell envelope stress such as antimicrobial peptides (PubMed:12207695, PubMed:15870467), alkaline pH (PubMed:11454200), transport processes and detoxification.
