Figure 1. Examples of Complex E. coli Promoters.

Figure 1

(A–C) Taken directly from the EcoCyc database [8]. (D) Described in [25]. Green blocks denote TF binding sites that have an activating effect; red blocks denote repressor sites. Brown sites can both activate and repress transcription. Note that repetitive and overlapping binding sites occur frequently. Understanding these kinds of promoters requires detailed quantitative information about binding affinities and interactions.
