sigW | RNA polymerase ECF(extracytoplasmic function)-type sigma factor W; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. Sigma-W controls genes involved in response to cell envelope stress such as antimicrobial peptides , alkaline pH , transport processes and detoxification. (187 aa) | ||||
rseP | Regulator of sigma-W protease RasP; Is responsible for site-2 cleavage of the RsiW anti-sigma factor. This results, after a third proteolytic step catalyzed by the ClpXP protease, in the release of SigW and the transcription activation of the genes under the control of the sigma-W factor. Can also cleave liberated signal peptides of PenP and Mpr, probably within in the cell membrane. (422 aa) |
