Note(s): 1CysB appears to modulate in a negative manner the expression of the ssu operon rather than to be a strong repressor of the operon Bykowski T,2002.1By making use of microarray analyses it was concluded that anarobiosis does not affect expression of the ssu operon, although FNR appears to activate it. A putative FNR-binding site, which was not shown in the report, was identified in this operon Salmon K,2003.1We have assigned the positive function for these sites (-77, -134) since IHF normally activates at this distance.
2 We have assigned the positive function for these sites (-177, -134) since IHF normally activates at this distance.
1We have assigned a negative function for this site (+33), since IHF normally represses at this distance.1 We have assigned the positive function for these sites (-177, -134) since IHF normally activates at this distance.
