Question: Which sigma factor of RNA polymerase comes into play during stress?
Options:
σ32
σ70
σ14
σ60
• Explanation:
-σ32 (sigma 32), also known as RpoH, is a sigma factor specifically involved in the heat shock response in bacteria.
-Under conditions of stress, such as heat shock, σ32 directs RNA polymerase to transcribe genes that encode heat shock proteins, which help the cell cope with the stress.
