== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/A0QW02_MYCS2 A0QW02_MYCS2]] Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is the primary sigma factor during exponential growth.[SAAS:SAAS00535554] [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RPOB_MYCS2 RPOB_MYCS2]] DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. This subunit often mutates to generate rifampicin (Rif) resistance. Interaction with RbpA partially restores Rif-inhibited transcription; once the subunit is Rif-resistant however RbpA no longer stimulates transcription.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01321]<ref>PMID:19926651</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RPOA_MYCS2 RPOA_MYCS2]] DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00059]<ref>PMID:19926651</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RBPA_MYCS2 RBPA_MYCS2]] Binds to RNA polymerase (RNAP), probably stimulating transcriptions from principal, but not alternative sigma factor promoters (By similarity). Partially restores transcription in the presence of rifampicin (Rif) in vitro; overexpression leads to an increase in the Rif tolerance in vivo, with smaller colonies. Seems to act by removing Rif from its binding site and preventing its further binding. No longer stimulates transcription in Rif-resistant RNA polymerase (with mutations in rpoB).<ref>PMID:19926651</ref> <ref>PMID:21415119</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RPOC_MYCS2 RPOC_MYCS2]] DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01322]<ref>PMID:19926651</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RPOZ_MYCS2 RPOZ_MYCS2]] Promotes RNA polymerase assembly. Latches the N- and C-terminal regions of the beta' subunit thereby facilitating its interaction with the beta and alpha subunits.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00366]<ref>PMID:19926651</ref>
