Gene clusters in the ∼30-kb region of earliest replicating DNA in C. crescentus. (A) Solid boxes represent previously described C. crescentus genes, and open boxes represent potential genes with high homology to those found in genomes of closely related bacteria (Tables 1 and 2). (B) Comparative parB-parA-gidB-gidA-thdF gene clusters of C. crescentus, P. putida, and B. subtilis. (C) Comparative RP883-hemH-hemE-RP001 gene cluster around the replication origins of C. crescentus and R. prowazekii. The strong promoter (Ps), the weak promoter (Pw), and the RP001 promoter (P3) are indicated for Cori; the rho ORF is an E. coli homolog of transcription termination factor rho also observed in R. sphaeroides (12) and R. prowazekii (α-proteobacteria). (D) Comparative fadB1-rpsT-dnaA gene cluster of C. crescentus and R. meliloti.
