Figure 8. — Identification of sequences similar to the alkS and benR Crc-binding sites in the proximity of the AUG start site of genes that are repressed by Crc. (A) Alignment of the 5′ regions of alkS and benR mRNAs. The AUG initiation codon is boxed. The Crc binding site at the alkS mRNA is indicated. The nucleotides of the alkS and benR Crc binding sites that show sequence similarity are shaded. (B) Sequences similar to the Crc binding region common to alkS and benR mRNAs (shaded in panel A) found in the proximity of the AUG start site of known Crc-regulated genes; the position relative to the AUG start site, as well as the name and description of the genes, is indicated. The potential Crc-targets are divided into two classes, eight of them carry the consensus sequence AAYAAYAA and all others contain a divergent consensus rich in A residues. The transcription start sites are only available for phhA (44), hpd (45) and bkdA1 (9) mRNAs, and the presumed Crc-target lies within the transcribed region.
