Crystal Structure of Escherichia coli sigmaE with the Cytoplasmic Domain of its Anti-sigma RseACrystal Structure of Escherichia coli sigmaE with the Cytoplasmic Domain of its Anti-sigma RseA
Structural highlights
1or7 is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
RPOE_ECOLI Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase (RNAP) to specific initiation sites and are then released. Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma-E controls the envelope stress response, responding to periplasmic protein stress, increased levels of periplasmic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as well as heat shock and oxidative stress; it controls protein processing in the extracytoplasmic compartment. The 90 member regulon consists of the genes necessary for the synthesis and maintenance of both proteins and LPS of the outer membrane.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
