| Reference: | Nickel M, et al. (2004), Wang GF, et al. (1993), Yoshida K, et al. (2003) |
| Comments: | Northern blotting results in BSORF show various transcripts in this region. Northern blotting experiments by Yoshida et al. show a 8.7 kb bkdR-ptb-bcd-buk-lpdV-bkdAA-bkdAB transcript. Nickel also found a 10.2 kb bkdR-ptb-bcd-buk-lpdV-bkdAA-bkdAB-bkdB transcript due to readthrough at the terminator downstream of bkdR. |
