Figure 6.
Nucleotide sequence of the pir gene. Translational start site (GTG) and stop site (TAG) are shown at positions 393 nt and 1,209 nt, respectively. The possible −35 and −10 boxes of σ70 type promoter are underlined. The boxed sequence indicates a possible ribosome binding site. A possible ρ-independent transcriptional termination site is shown by inverted arrows.
