sigM

Gene
sigM
Protein
ECF RNA polymerase sigma factor SigM
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 35801 / TMC 107 / Erdman)
Length
196 amino acids
Function
Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors are held in an inactive form by an anti-sigma factor until released by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the sigma-70 factor family. ECF subfamily.

ECF RNA polymerase sigma factor SigM
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv)
Length
196 amino acids
Function
Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors are held in an inactive form by an anti-sigma factor (RsaM, AC L7N5D7) until released by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (Probable). This sigma factor is required for the synthesis of surface or secreted molecules.

Protein
ECF RNA polymerase sigma factor SigM
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Length
163 amino acids
Function
Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors are held in an inactive form by a cognate anti-sigma factor (YhdL) until released (PubMed:14993308). This sigma factor is involved in the maintenance of membrane and cell wall integrity in response to environmental stresses including salt, acid, ethanol and antibiotics stress (PubMed:22211522, PubMed:12775685). Partially regulates transcription from a number of genes including disA (PubMed:17434969).
