Therefore, while bacteria accomplish transcription of all genes using a single kind of RNA polymerase, the use of different sigma factor subunits provides an extra level of control. Eukaryotic ...

The University of Hong Kong has patented RNA polymerase β subunit/RNA polymerase sigma factor RpoD (bacterial) interaction inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of gram-positive bacterial ...

Transcription factors include a wide number of proteins, excluding RNA polymerase, that initiate and regulate the transcription of genes. One distinct feature of transcription factors is that they ...
