DNase I footprinting experiments showed that AbrB binds to the regulatory regions of the spo0H, kinB, ftsAZ, and pbpE genes. A conserved motif was found in these and other AbrB-binding sites. A search for Bacillus subtilis DNA sequences containing this motif led to the prediction that AbrB would bind to the promoter controlling the bsuB1 methylase gene. DNase I footprinting experiments confirmed this prediction.
脱氧核糖核酸酶I足迹实验表明,AbrB与spo0H、kinB、ftsAZ和pbpE基因的调控区域结合。在这些以及其他AbrB结合位点中发现了一个保守基序。对含有该基序的枯草芽孢杆菌DNA序列进行搜索,结果预测AbrB会与控制bsuB1甲基化酶基因的启动子结合。脱氧核糖核酸酶I足迹实验证实了这一预测。
