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. [1]. 11931761.

This HMM hits a core region shared by multiple sigma factors, interchangeable subunits that complete the RNA polymerase holoenzyme and allow transcription to start. In E. coli K-12 alone, this HMM hits RpoD (sigma-70), RpoH (sigma-32), FliA (sigma-28), FecI (sigma-19), RpoS, and RpoE.

This family of RNA polymerase sigma factors is a member of the Sigma-70 subfamily (TIGR02937) and is restricted to certain lineages of the order Bacillales. This family encompasses at least two distinct sigma factors as two proteins are found in each of B. anthracis, B. subtilis subsp. subtilis str. 168, and B. lichiniformis (although these are not apparently the same two in each). One of these is designated as SigM in B. subtilis (Swiss_Prot: SIGM_BACSU) and is activated by various stressors [1,2].

This model encompasses all varieties of the sigma-70 type sigma factors including the ECF subfamily. A number of sigma factors have names with a different number than 70 (i.e. sigma-38), but in fact, all except for the Sigma-54 family (TIGR02395) are included within this family. Several PFAM models hit segments of these sequences including Sigma-70 region 2 (PF04542) and Sigma-70, region 4 (PF04545), but not always above their respective trusted cutoffs.

Bacteria have multiple sigma factors which are active under specific conditions; the sigma factor binds with the catalytic core of RNA polymerase to produce the holoenzyme and directs Bacterial core RNA polymerase to specific promoter elements to initiate transcription
