From: A new experimental approach for studying bacterial genomic island evolution identifies island genes with bacterial host-specific expression patterns

Figure 9

A conserved DNA site identified in the promoter regions of the STM4310 and STM4319 genes. Panel A. The DNA sequences of the promoter regions indicated in Figure 1 were aligned and analyzed for common motifs. A 19-bp site was identified in the promoter regions of STM4310 and STM4319, and a related, though divergent, site was found in the STM4315 promoter region. Panel B. The 19-bp site is conserved and found in the genomes of other bacterial species. The sites from the genomes of Salmonella typhimurium (STM4310 and STM4319), S. typhi, S. paratyphi, S. cholerasuis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pasteurella multocida are aligned.
