TABLE 1.

Characteristics of each promoter identified within the phoPR operon promoter region

phoPR promoter Positiona σ Factorb Activator Repressor
PA6 −175 σA CcpA

a

Relative to the A, position +1, of the translation start site, ATG.

b

Identified by in vitro transcription using core RNAP with purified sigma factor (27, 32).

c

Not EσA, EσB, EσE, or EσH responsive (Paul and Hulett, unpublished data).

d

Transcript observed in only a σB mutant (27, 32).

e

Missing or poor −35 element; very weak promoter in vitro compared to in vivo; probably missing activator(s) in vitro (27, 32).
