The 375-bp sarA open reading frame is driven by three promoters, P1, P3, and P2. Using gel shift and DNase I footprinting assays, we found that SarA binds to two 26-bp sequences and one 31-bp sequence within the P1 and P3 promoters, respectively. Together with the results of transcription analyses, our data indicate that SarA binds to its own promoter to down-regulate sarA expression.
375碱基对的sarA开放阅读框由三个启动子P1、P3和P2驱动。通过凝胶迁移和DNase I足迹分析,我们发现SarA分别与P1和P3启动子内的两个26碱基对序列和一个31碱基对序列结合。结合转录分析结果,我们的数据表明SarA与其自身启动子结合以下调sarA表达。
