Genome context and nucleotide sequence of the A. vinelandii CrcZ sRNA. Terminators are indicated by small stem-loops. The six CrcZ A-rich Hfq-binding motifs are indicated by red boxes. The −12 and −24 regions of the predicted RpoN promoter and putative sequences recognized by CbrB (black boxes) are indicated. The predicted −10 and −35 regions of an RpoD promoter are underlined. Inverted repeats at the end of CrcZ are denoted by solid arrows.
