Sequence of the M. tuberculosis DNA fragment containing the oxidative stress-inducible promoter. (A) Sequence of the −50/+10 M. tuberculosis region. The coordinates are arbitrary, with coordinate +1 corresponding to the first nucleotide of the furA gene. The −35 and −10 sequences are in boldface. The 23-bp AT-rich region is boxed. The ends of the fragments cloned in MT12 and MT14 are indicated. The region protected by FurA is indicated by a line above the sequence. (B) Alignment of the AT-rich DNA sequences upstream of furA in M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. smegmatis, and M. fortuitum and the sequence upstream of furS in S. reticuli. The conserved bases are indicated by asterisks.
