Figure 9From: Transcriptome analysis of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans directed to the global identification of promotersConservation of motif ACCGCC among Aspergillus species. Sequence alignment of the region upstream of the putative translation start codon ATG (boxed in red) of genes orthologous to A. nidulans AN11278 in five species of Aspergillus (A. nidulans, A. fumigatus, A. niger, A. clavatus, A. terreus) and Neurospora crassa. The major A. nidulans transcription start site is indicated by a red arrow. The ACCGCC motif (boxed in green) is conserved among Aspergilli, though not in N. crassa.Back to article page
