Identification of a 14 bp YvmB-box consensus sequence. a Alignment of potential 14 bp YvmB box motifs identified in the promoter region of the B. subtilis yvmB gene and in the promoter region of the B. licheniformis yvmA gene. Position of the boxes are indicated relative to the translational start sites. b Identification of additional putative YvmB boxes. Position of the boxes are indicated relative to the translational start sites: yvnB; similar to metallophosphatase; yisI, Spo0A-P phosphatase; yxnA, similar to glucose 1-dehydrogenase; ndhF, NADH dehydrogenase (subunit 5); yckD, unknown. c The 14-nt palindromic consensus sequence of the YvmB box motif. The size of the nucleotides at each position indicates its relative prevalence in sequences used as training set for MEME algorithm
