^aV. cholerae O1 biovar eltor str. N16961 (genome accession number NC_002505.1). The SOS box of uvrA is from 420543 to 420562 (complement).

^bE. coli K-12 (genome accession number NC_000913.1). The SOS box of uvrA, uvrB, and uvrD is from 4271534 to 4271553 (complement), 812655 to 812674, and 3995520 to 3995539, respectively.

^cP. aeruginosa PA01 (genome accession number NC_002516.1).

^dP. multocida (genome accession number NC_002663.1). The SOS box of uvrA and uvrD is from 2187327 to 2187346 and 480407 to 480426, respectively.

^eH. influenzae Rd (genome accession number NC_000907.1). The SOS box is from 282331 to 282350 for uvrA and from 1255918 to 1255937 for uvrD.

^fHI indicates the affinity of LexA to the SOS box (27). A low HI indicates a strong binding of the LexA to the SOS box.
