Structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis extracytoplasmic function sigma factor SigK in complex with the cytosolic domain of its cognate anti-sigma factor RskA
This domain is found at the N-terminal end of the anti-sigma-K factor from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (RskA), which positively regulates expression of the antigenic proteins MPB70 and MPB83 [1,2].
Region 2 of sigma-70 is the most conserved region of the entire protein. All members of this class of sigma-factor contain region 2. The high conservation is due to region 2 containing both the -10 promoter recognition helix and the primary core RNA ...
Region 2 of sigma-70 is the most conserved region of the entire protein. All members of this class of sigma-factor contain region 2. The high conservation is due to region 2 containing both the -10 promoter recognition helix and the primary core RNA polymerase binding determinant. The core binding helix, interacts with the clamp domain of the largest polymerase subunit, beta prime [1,2]. The aromatic residues of the recognition helix, found at the C-terminus of this domain are though to mediate strand separation, thereby allowing transcription initiation [1,2].
Region 4 of sigma-70 like sigma-factors are involved in binding to the -35 promoter element via a helix-turn-helix motif [1]. Due to the way Pfam works, the threshold has been set artificially high to prevent overlaps with other helix-turn-helix fami ...
Region 4 of sigma-70 like sigma-factors are involved in binding to the -35 promoter element via a helix-turn-helix motif [1]. Due to the way Pfam works, the threshold has been set artificially high to prevent overlaps with other helix-turn-helix families. Therefore there are many false negatives.
