Summary of the genes identified by transcriptomic analysis as being down-regulated in <i>rpoA</i>^<i>del</i>-expressing cells.

<p>^a: Information on the transcriptional units (TUs) was acquired from DBTBS and Bsubcyc.

Parentheses indicate TFs whose involvements have been suggested by genetic analysis (i.e., gene knockout), but whose binding sites not yet been identified.</p><p>^c: Information on gene function was mainly acquired from the Panther database (<a href="http://www.pantherdb.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pantherdb.org/</a>), while the functions of <i>epsA</i> and <i>epsB</i> were obtained from the BSORF database (<a href="http://bacillus.genome.ad.jp/" target="_blank">http://bacillus.genome.ad.jp/</a>). The <i>plsC</i> gene is essential for the viability of <i>B</i>. <i>subtilis</i> cells.</p><p>Summary of the genes identified by transcriptomic analysis as being down-regulated in <i>rpoA</i>^<i>del</i>-expressing cells.
