alpha-helix E of Spo0A is required for sigma(A)- but not for sigma(H)-dependent promoter activation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
, 2004 At the onset of endospore formation in Bacillus subtilis, the DNA binding protein Spo0A activates transcription from two types of promoters. The first type includes the spoIIG and spoIIE promoters, which are used by sigma(A)-RNA polymerase, whereas the ...

Ribovirus classification by a polymerase barcode sequence [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 RNA viruses encoding a polymerase gene (riboviruses) dominate the known eukaryotic virome. High-throughput sequencing is revealing a wealth of new riboviruses known only from sequence, precluding classification by traditional taxonomic methods.
