mIHF locus of M. smegmatis and M. tuberculosis. (A) Arrows represent genes present at the mIHF locus of M. smegmatis and M. tuberculosis H37Rv, and the shaded regions represent regions of close sequence similarity between the two species. The M. tuberculosis H37Rv organization is taken from data on cosmid MTCY21B4 (accession no. Z80108), and M. smegmatis information was obtained from accession no. U75344 and U91572. (B) Sequence similarity of the mIHF genes. A region of approximately 250 bp around the beginning of the M. smegmatis mIHF gene is aligned with that from M. tuberculosis H37Rv; bases in common are indicated with an asterisk, and gaps introduced for alignment are shown as dashes. The position of the GTG translation initiation codon is indicated by a horizontal line, and the sequences corresponding to the ribosome binding sites are boxed. The position of the M. smegmatis transcription initiation site is shown by an arrow, and the putative −10 and −35 regions are indicated.
