Sigma Factor Competition

Sigma Factor Competition is a regulatory mechanism in prokaryotic transcription wherein multiple sigma factors vie for binding to a limited pool of RNA polymerase core enzymes, thereby differentially influencing the initiation of gene expression programs in response to environmental or developmental cues.
