FIG 3.

Overlapping regulons of Vibrio LuxR-type regulators. The LuxR, HapR, SmcR, and OpaR regulons, which were previously published (77, 78, 80, 82), were analyzed to identify mutual gene constituents via pairwise reciprocal BLAST searches (143). The numbers of homologous genes identified between pairs of regulons are shown in circles and connected by arrows. Genes associated with major cellular processes are listed in the brackets extending from each circled number. Lists are not comprehensive; the paired lists contain genes encoding hypothetical proteins with no annotated function. Vibrio parahae., Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
