Summary Introduction

The heat shock response is one of the global regulatory responses that uses alternative sigma ($\sigma$) factors in the regulation of genes. The catabolite repression and the quorum sensing are the two best known examples of global regulatory responses. Other global regulatory responses are phosphate (pho) regulon, the RpoS regulon, and the heat shock response. Many genes consist of more than a single regulon is used to regulate the global systems. The alternative sigma ($\sigma$) factors, signal molecules, repressors, activators, regulatory RNA, two-component systems are used in the global network systems.
