FIG. 2.

(A) Genetic organization of 6.2-kb LlaJI gene cluster. The ISLL6 insertion site, approximately 280 bp downstream of the ATG start codon of llaJIR2 on plasmid pNP10, is indicated. (B) Nucleotide sequences of the promoter region and the 5′ end of llaJIM1 of the LlaJI operon. The ribosome binding site, preceding llaJIM1, is doubly underlined. The extended −10 and −35 sequences of the promoter region are highlighted. A 24-bp perfect inverted repeat structure is indicated by opposing arrows, and a 14-bp direct repeat sequence is shown by broken arrows. The determined transcriptional start site is denoted in lowercase italics.
