Figure 6

The uirS-lsiR region encompassing a cyanobacteriochrome (slr1212/uirS or pixA) and two response regulator genes (slr1213/uirR or nixB and the PatA-type regulator slr1214/lsiR or nixC) encodes a UV-A-activated signaling system41,42. This genomic region is very similar in both strains with the exception of a proximal TSS upstream of D082_00130 and a more distally located TSS upstream of its ortholog slr1214. The latter gives rise to the sRNA CsiR1, from which read-through occurs into slr1214. (B) Sequence alignment of the intergenic region between slr1213/D082_00120 and slr1214/D082_00130.
