FIG. 3.

Comparison of the 5′ upstream region of yaaH and a consensus sequence of the −10 and −35 regions recognized by SigE. (A) 5′ upstream sequence of the yaaH gene. The bases which match the consensus sequence are shaded. Double underlining indicates a ribosome binding site (RBS). (B) Comparison of the promoter sequence of yaaH and those of the genes dependent on SigE (13). k in the consensus sequence represents base T or G, m represents C or A, and r represents G or A. Consensus sequence is in uppercase letters; transcription start sites are underlined.
