Nucleotide sequence of the promoter region and the 5′ coding region of the
E. faecalis clpB gene. Regulatory sequences, in bold type
and underlined, are as follows: one putative CtsR element (consensus sequence
GGTCAAANANGGTCAAA) indicated with an arrow below, the putative −35 and −10
regions, the initiation codon ATG and its ribosome-binding site (RBS), and a
second putative initiation codon GTG and its related RBS (boxed).
