Note(s): The dcw cluster is formed by 16 genes (mraZW-ftsLI-murEF-mraY-murD-ftsW-murGC-ddlB-ftsQAZ-lpxC) involved in cell division. It is probable that the dcw cluster conforms to an operon since there is no transcriptional termination signal within the whole gene region, allowing the complete transcription from mraZ to the furthest downstream gene (lpxC) Vicente M,1998 A couple of antisense RNAs were identified in the dcw cluster by means of S1 mapping; however, its genomic position is not mentioned. This cluster is regulated by a variety of sophisticated mechanisms that together contribute to the precise timing of cell division Vicente M,1998

Note(s): 554 promoter regions from Escherichia coli were aligned in order to analyze their sequence similarities. Mitchell et al. (2003) Mitchell JE,2003 focused on conservation, patterns, similarities, and differences between promoters with or without an extended -10 5'-TG-3' element and other conserved elements. They experimentally showed that, for several naturally occurring extended -10 promoters, the 5'-TRTG-3' motif is an important determinant for promoter activity. Eleven promoters were selected for further experimental study. Of those, the seven most active (aroF > ompF > envA > purFp1 > purEF > purMN > gyrA) were investigated regarding the contribution of the extended -10 motif by changing the 5'-TG-3' element. Promoters with poor matches to the -10 and -35 consensus hexamers are more dependent on the 5'-TG-3' motif, and this plays a similar role in different promoters. The dinucleotide at -17 and -16 in aroFp results in similar patterns of activity, suggesting that these bases play a similar role in different promoters Mitchell JE,2003.
