  1. 1 sRNA candidates verified experimentally retain their original notation [26].
  2. 2 NN, neural network promoter prediction; s70, σ70-dependent promoter; s54, RpoN (σ54)-dependent promoter promoter; PhoB, putative PhoB binding site.
  3. 3 The coordinates of all putative promoters and/or transcription factor binding sites within an IgR are presented. The position given for NN is the 3' end of the identified sequence. For σ70 the position given is 7 bases downstream of the 3' end of the -10 hexamer. The 3' end of the predicted binding site for σ54 and PhoB is indicated with an asterisk.
  4. 4 Given is the position of the last uridine at the end of the terminator sequence.
  5. 5 Range of possible lengths based on putative 5' and 3' ends.
  6. 6 As described in Table 1.
