FIG. 3.

(A) Nucleotide sequence analysis of the upstream region of eanR. Putative −35 and −10 promoter sequences, the ribosome binding site (RB), and the translation initiation site are shown in boldface type. The inverted repeat exhibiting similarity to lux box was underlined. (B) Nucleotide sequence comparison of consensus lux box sequences (13) and the upstream region of luxR homolog in P. ananatis SK-1, P. stewartii DC283, and S. marcescens SS-1. Conserved sequences are shown in boldface type.
