(A) The −10 and −35 motifs at the σAntA-target promoters of antFG and antHIJKLMNO are nearly 100% identical and display zero nucleotide identity with the promoter region of antAB. Shared identity is indicated by grey shading. The nucleotides mapped by 5′RLM-RACE is denoted by +1 and are shown in bold face (B) Conservation of the S. albus S4 antFG and antHIJKLMNO promoter elements in other antimycin-producing Streptomyces species. Conservation between the experimentally determined promoter region of S. albus S4 and the putative promoter regions of other antimycin producers is indicated by grey shading. (C) Consensus sequence for the −35 and −10 promoter elements recognised by σAntA displayed as a WebLogo (Crooks et al., 2004).
