FIG. 6.
Putative Per box sequences identified upstream of BB0690 (napA). The ATG start site designated by TIGR (nt 201) appears boldface and underlined. A second start site that is 33 bp downstream from the first site (nt 234) is boldface and double underlined. A putative ribosomal binding site is boldface. Putative −10 and −35 promoter sites are underlined. Per box sequences with at least 11 out of 15 matches to the consensus sequence appear in boxes: matches to the Per consensus sequence are boldface. The sequence reported to bind BosR according to footprint analyses (10) is overlined. The DNA used to generate a target sequence for gel shift analysis is marked by brackets. The entire sequence corresponds to nt 730951 to 731186 on the main chromosome of B. burgdorferi (GenBank accession no. AE000783).
