FIG. 1.
Nucleotide sequence of the bmlP1 3′ flanking region. The nucleotide positions are numbered relative to the translational start site of bmlP1. The translational stop codon of bmlP1 is indicated by an asterisk. The −35 and −10 regions of the ςA-like promoter of the putative ABC transporter gene are overlined. The inverted repeat which overlaps the −10 region of the promoter of the ABC transporter gene and may serve as an operator is indicated by a pair of solid inverted arrows. The putative ribosome-binding site (S/D) of the ABC transporter gene is double underlined. A pair of dashed arrows denotes a pair of imperfect inverted repeats. DR represents a pair of imperfect direct repeats. The endpoint of each primer used in this work is indicated by an arrow as well as the number of the base position. H, HincII; Ps, PstI; Pv, PvuII.
