Contents
The enzyme responsible for transcription
Components of the RNA polymerase
Core subunits
Sigma factors
- In addition to the housekeeping sigma factor, SigA, there are several other sigma factors with different promoter recognition specifiity that are active under specific conditions (such as stress or sporulation)
Small accessory subunits
