σ factor regulatory network. Arrows indicate the transcriptional relationships among σ factors. sigB can be transcribed by an RNAP containing σH, σE, or σL, depending on the environmental conditions. σH also promotes the transcription of its own structural gene and the induction of sigE after oxidative stress. The environmental signal activating σL is not known.
