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 primary sigma factor during exponential growth.

<p>This subsection of the 'Family and domains' section provides general information on the biological role of a domain.

Several domains are described in this subsection.<p><a href='/help/domain_cc' target='_top'>More...</a></p>Domaini

Contains 4 domains, connected by flexible linkers. In the active conformation, the domains are in an extended conformation, each making extensive interactions with the RNA polymerase catalytic core (PubMed:11931761 and PubMed:12016306).
In the autoinhibited state, sigma-70 factor domain-1 packs closely together with sigma-70 factor domains-2 and -4, contrary to the extended conformation that is seen when the protein is part of the RNA polymerase holoenzyme.By similarity
The sigma-70 factor domain-2 mediates sequence-specific interaction with the -10 element in promoter DNA, and plays an important role in melting the double-stranded DNA and the formation of the transcription bubble. The sigma-70 factor domain-2 mediates interaction with the RNA polymerase subunits RpoB and RpoC (PubMed:11931761 and PubMed:22136875).
The sigma-70 factor domain-4 contains a helix-turn-helix (H-T-H) motif that mediates interaction with the -35 element in promoter DNA. The domain also mediates interaction with the RNA polymerase subunit RpoA. Interactions between sigma-70 factor domain-4 and anti-sigma factors prevents interaction of sigma factors with the RNA polymerase catalytic core (PubMed:11931761).1 Publication

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p> <p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen is extremely low.</p> <p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case of multiple genes (paralogs).</p> <p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64) using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1. The algorithm is described in the ISO 3309 standard. </p> <p class="publication">Press W.H., Flannery B.P., Teukolsky S.A. and Vetterling W.T.<br /> <strong>Cyclic redundancy and other checksums</strong><br /> <a href="http://www.nrbook.com/b/bookcpdf.php">Numerical recipes in C 2nd ed., pp896-902, Cambridge University Press (1993)</a>)</p> Checksum:i5D8ACF5713DE55AD
