SinR is a transcription factor which controls expression of stress tolerance sin genes related to alternate development processes under stress condition. Identification of genome wide SinR-box motif and their regulated genes has not been worked out yet in Bradyrhizobium japonicum. For this, a weight matrix of 9 bp was developed from the known promoter sequences of Bacillus subtilis, which was then used for genome wide identification of co-regulated genes. The methodology first involves phylogenetic footprinting of SinR regulated genes and then construction of scoring matrix through 'Consensus' and confirmation through MEME & D-Matrix tools. Genomic prediction was done through 'Patser' program and confirmation through 'PossumSearch' program in Linux system. Results showed that all the 371 predicted genes belongs to 9 different functional classes, in which 221 found in operons with more than 80% Sin-box motif similarity. Similar approach can be used in other bacteria to explore hidden genomic regulatory network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
