Description
Type 2 promoter of sigE gene. Sigma factor regulates light and nitrogen responses, and has been observed to increase with light and decrease in darkness. Promoter potentially regulated by circadian rhythm. SigE specifi cally contributes to the expression of genes related to sugar catabolism and photosynthesis, and is regulated
by the circadian system at the transcript and protein levels. Therefore, SigE may be a factor controlling the balance of carbon and nitrogen metabolism with a rhythmic expression that peaks at 24-hour intervals according to the upcoming night.
