FIG. 1.

(A) Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences of ExpR1 and ExpR2 of E. carotovora subsp. carotovora strain Ecc71. The numbers on the right indicate the positions of amino acid residues. (B) Nucleotide sequence of the upstream region of Ecc71 rsmA. Two transcriptional start sites are indicated by T1 and T2(+1), respectively. The expR box and the second binding site for ExpR2 are indicated. The putative −10 and −35 sequences of T2 are underlined, the Shine-Dalgarno sequence is double underlined, and the translational start site is indicated by an asterisk.
