Effect of the homoplastic −47 A/T SNP on the expression of a downstream gfp gene. The promoter activity was expressed in relative fluorescence levels per unit of optical density (RFU; fluorescence level/OD) of GFP. The activity of promoter with T nucleotide at −47 was compared to the promoter with A nucleotide in M. smegmatis (a) and M. tuberculosis H37Ra (b). Mycobacterial cells carrying the pFPV2 plasmid served as a positive control for GFP expression, whereas cells without the plasmid served as the negative control. The presented data were averaged RFU from three independent experiments. Asterisks represent significant difference; p-value <0.001.
