Table 1. List of RhlR binding sites in WT PA14 and their associated expression and binding dependencies in different genetic backgrounds.
Expression values were determined using Rockhopper [65] with data from Simanek et al. 2022 [29]. Q-values represent the probability of a false discovery of differentially expressed genes. Expression values used to calculate relative expression all increased by 1 to prevent div/0.

aSite location refers to the genomic position of the base in the center of a given ChIP peak.
bTwo genes are listed where a site is upstream of a gene on both strands, or within one gene and upstream of an adjacent gene on the same strand.
*Gene is associated with an internal binding site.
cBinding motifs were identified using MEME analysis [63] and the sequence contributing to the consensus motif is listed in line with its associated ChIP site and gene(s) where identified.
