Curation notes
Multiple variations of the DNase protected site were tried, including several truncations; none returned the correct site. The further site mentioned in the paper has no binding data associated with it.

Experimental Process

Used site-directed mutagenesis to recreate the LuxT putative lux box in the upstream region of the pGEM plasmid, regulating luciferase. Used western blot analysis to compare protein output of wt vs ∆luxT. ∆luxT strain was generated using a deletion. Binding of LuxT was determined first by EMSA, then narrowed down via DNase Footprinting

Transcription Factor Binding Sites


Gene Regulation

Regulated genes for each binding site are displayed below. Gene regulation diagrams show binding sites, positively-regulated genes, negatively-regulated genes, both positively and negatively regulated genes, genes with unspecified type of regulation. For each indvidual site, experimental techniques used to determine the site are also given.
