Protein
RNA polymerase sigma factor for flagellar operon
Organism
Vibrio parahaemolyticus serotype O3:K6 (strain RIMD 2210633)
Function
Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This alternative sigma factor is specific for the flagellin gene (fliC) expression.
Similarity
Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family.
