TABLE 4.
Organization of regulated genes in functional categoriesa
| Functional category | No. of genes (no. of genes with K-box)
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Downregulated | Upregulated | |
| ATP binding | 17 (5) | 5 (1) |
| Membrane/transport | 20 (3) | 11 (1) |
| Carbohydrate metabolism | 7 (0) | 3 (0) |
| Regulation of transcription | 7 (2) | 2 (0) |
| Signal transduction | 6 (2) | 0 (0) |
| Protein biosynthesis | 1 (1) | 5 (0) |

Using the FIVA program, regulated genes were grouped into functional categories. For each functional category the number of genes that are downregulated or upregulated in the presence of wtComK is indicated, as is the number of the genes that contain a K-box.
