Transcription factor: SigF

Factor type	ND
SWISS-PROT	P07860
SubtiList	BG10298
Consensus seq.	(C/T)G(C/T)(A/T)TA(-35), GG(A/C)A(A/T)A(A/C)TA(-10)
Comment	RNA polymerase sporulation-specific sigma factor. Synthesized shortly after the onset of sporulation but do not become active until after polar division; transcription reduced, and probably activation impeded, in hyperosmotic conditions; moving this gene in the 30% region of the chromosome trapped in the forespore during a short interval is sufficient to produce spores in the absence of SpoIIA and SpoIIE.
