Consensus seq. TTAGCACTC---------GAGTGCTAA
Comment the promoters of class I heat-inducible genes are sigA-dependent and have an inverted repeat, called the CIRCE (controlling IR of chaperone expression) element, which is highly conserved among eubacteria; heat-shock and general stress responses are reviewed in Hecker, M. et al., 1996
