Transcriptional start sites for analyzed genes and their possible −10 elements.

Proposed promoters in which putative σ70 and σ38 overlapping recognition sequences have been determined, are presented as bold sequences.
The transcription start site (TSS) for each gene is underlined at the end of each nucleotide sequence. (1) predictions were obtain with PWMs (σ70 and σ38) analyzed in meta-MEME software and inferred (2) by visual comparison using the −10 sigma 38 consensus sequence by Weber, H. et al. [5]. (3) in these cases, σ70 promoter sequences were inferred using the −10 sigma 70 consensus sequence. (n) new data obtained in this work; (k)known data; (ki) previously inferred promoters not detected in this work. Additional evidence that supports the functionality of the proposed promoters detected by 5′RACE: (A) global mapping of TSS; (B) in vitro transcription; (C) obtained with two tags; (D) repeated experiments and (E) promoter fusions to a reporter gene. TFs, transcriptional factors.
