The functional identification of a 19-bp inverted repeat sequence (IRS) upstream the tetH promoter. (A) The loci of IRS, −10/−35 regions, the transcriptional start site and primers on the sequence upstream tetH gene. (B–D) The results of EMSAs to determine the binding ability of RsrR to the regulatory sequence. −, the group containing the nucleotide fragments without RsrR; +, the group containing both the different nucleotide fragments and RsrR. G360, a 360 bp-fragment from the gapdH gene used as a control; T360, T148 and T90, a 360 bp-, 148 bp-, or 90 bp-fragment amplified from upstream region of tetH; G360+58IRS, a 58 bp sequence containing the IRS fused with the 360 bp-fragment from gapdH; T360Δ19: the T360 fragment with IRS removed. (E) Diagram of series of IRS-probe vectors containing various versions of the upstream region of tetH. (F) Transcriptional analysis of gusA on the IRS-probe vectors in ΔrsrR and the wild type.
