sigma factor-like helix-turn-helix DNA-binding protein

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.

sigma factor
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.
sigma-70 family RNA polymerase sigma factor
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.
