Control of Competence for DNA Transformation in Streptococcus suis by Genetically Transferable Pherotypes
Figure 1
Comparison of S. suis comS and comX (sigX) promoter regions with those of bovis, pyogenic, mutans, and salivarius groups.
The Stop triplet of ComR is underlined. Green and red formatted sequences in the comR-box highlight RNA base-pairing in a potential stem-loop structure. The conserved Pribnow box (TATAAT) at −10 is highlighted in red. Note that the core 12 bases of the ComR box are shared by all species. The distance to the start codon of comS or comX is indicated by the numbers at the far right.
