The BqsR binding motif in the genome and its impact on global expression.
(A) The response regulator BqsR activates gene expression. The BqsR operator sequence contains a repeated pentamer (TTAAG) separated by 6 bp. (B) A comparison of the predicted operator strength with the observed experimental fold change in expression measured using RNA-seq. Operator strength was predicted with Equation 1 using best-fit values for parameters a and b. The curve shows y = x. For operator regions containing multiple BqsR binding sites, only the site with the highest score was plotted.
