Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is involved in regulation of expression of heat shock genes. Intracellular concentration of free RpoH protein increases in response to heat shock, which causes association with RNA polymerase (RNAP) and initiation of transcription of heat shock genes, including numerous global transcriptional regulators and genes involved in maintaining membrane functionality and homeostasis. RpoH is then quickly degraded, leading to a decrease in the rate of synthesis of heat shock proteins and shut-off of the heat shock response. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-284 from Escherichia coli RNA polymerase sigma factor RpoH, fused to 10X His-Tag at N-terminal and Myc-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in E.coli.
