Model representing binding of PpsR to the crtI promoter (the PpsR binding sites are separated by 8 bp) and to the pucBA promoter (the PpsR binding sites are separated by 9 bp). The difference in spacing between the two PpsR consensus sequences would affect the formation of the PpsR tetramer. The tetramer would prevent binding of the RNA polymerase (26).
