Molecular Characterization of Transcriptional Regulation of rovA by PhoP and RovA in Yersinia pestis
Figure 6
Organization of the rovA promoter-proximal region.
The DNA sequence was derived from the genomic data of Y. pestis 91001 and the start codon was shown at the 3' terminal. The bent arrows indicate the two promoters P1 and P2 (transcription start sites). Predicted promoters −10 and −35 elements, and Shine-Dalgarno box are enclosed in boxes. The RovA, PhoP, H-NS, and RovM sites are underlined with different lines. The H-NS [17], [23] and RovM [36] sites are derived from those determined in Y. pseudotuberculosis, since the Y. pestis rovA promoter-proximal region is essentially identical to the Y. pseudotuberculosis one.
