Deskripsi

Sigma factors are regulatory proteins that reprogram the bacterial RNA polymerase in response to stress conditions to transcribe certain genes, including those for other sigma factors. Here, Chauhan et al. describe the complete sigma factor regulatory network of the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
