The mycobacterium-specific gene Rv2719c was found to be expressed primarily from a promoter that was clearly DNA damage inducible independently of RecA. Upstream of the transcriptional start site for this promoter, sequence motifs resembling those observed previously at the RecA-independent, DNA damage-inducible recA promoter were identified, and the -10 motif was demonstrated by mutational analysis in transcriptional fusion constructs to be important for expression of Rv2719c.
发现分枝杆菌特异性基因Rv2719c主要从一个启动子表达,该启动子明显可被DNA损伤诱导,且不依赖RecA。在该启动子转录起始位点上游,鉴定出了与先前在不依赖RecA的DNA损伤诱导型recA启动子处观察到的序列基序相似的序列基序,并且通过转录融合构建体中的突变分析表明,-10基序对于Rv2719c的表达很重要。
