Protein
RNA polymerase sigma factor NccH
Organism
Alcaligenes xylosoxydans xylosoxydans
Function
Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor regulates the genes for a membrane-located efflux system that confers resistance to nickel, cobalt and cadmium.
Similarity
Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. ECF subfamily.
