Fig 1. Gene organization of the two-component system and the HtrA-like proteases encoding genes.
(A) Schematic representation of the E. coli chromosomal region of the cpxRA two-component system, the gene encoding the E. coli HtrA-like protease (degP) and adjacent genes. Schematic representacion of the B.subtilis (B) and S. lividans (C) chromosomal regions of the cssRS two-component system, the HtrA-like proteases encoding genes and adjacent genes.
