Sigma Factor Dependence

Sigma Factor Dependence is a molecular regulatory mechanism in prokaryotic gene expression whereby the specificity and initiation of transcription at a promoter are determined by the selective binding of RNA polymerase holoenzyme containing a particular sigma factor, distinguishing it from basal transcription machinery by its role in differential gene regulation in response to environmental or developmental signals.
