Figure 1. Schematic representation of the hp1043 locus in H. pylori G27 along with the previously reported HP1043 binding sites.

The binding sites of HP1043 are represented with black boxes, positions are relative to the transcription start sites. The transcriptional regulator, represented by a polyhedral shape, binds the promoter region of three target genes: hp1043 and tlpB¹¹, and cncR1¹². Protein coding genes are depicted with grey block arrows, the small non-coding cncR1 RNA gene with a white block arrow. Transcription start sites are indicated with a bent arrow marked +1, the −10 region with grey boxes.
