Protein
RNA polymerase sigma factor FliA
Organism
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (strain ATCC 15692 / DSM 22644 / CIP 104116 / JCM 14847 / LMG 12228 / 1C / PRS 101 / PAO1)
Function
Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor controls the expression of flagella-related genes (By similarity). Required for the flagellin gene (fliC) expression.
Similarity
Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. FliA subfamily.
