Figure 8

(A) Genetic organization of birA and bioY loci. The birA (referred to birA1) and bioY (referred to bioY1) loci are highlighted in blue and yellow, respectively. The red circle denotes the predicted BirA-binding site. The birA2 and bioY2 loci are indicated with silver and purple arrows. (B) The L. lactis bioY promoter “S” denotes the putative transcriptional start site and the red “ATG” is the translation initiation site. The letters “GGAG” in green refer to the ribosome binding site. The “−35” and “−10” regions are indicated in blue. The predicted BirA-binding site is underlined in black.
