Patent ID: 8623631

Claim:
A promoter region comprising a consensus sequence recognized by SigA and a consensus sequence recognized by SigE, which is produced by modifying a nucleotide sequence including a promoter recognized by SigA and bases in the vicinity thereof, to further include said consensus sequence recognized by SigE, with said consensus sequence recognized by SigA being maintained, wherein the consensus sequence recognized by SigE is a nucleotide sequence comprising a −35 region represented by ATAHTT and a −10 region represented by CATAYAHT, wherein H denotes A, C, or T and Y denotes C or T, which is linked to a site 13 or 14 nucleotides downstream from the −35 region, wherein the consensus sequence recognized by SigA is a nucleotide sequence comprising a −35 region represented by TTGACA and a −10 region represented by TGNTATAAT, which is linked to a site 14 nucleotides downstream from the −35 region, wherein N represents A, G, C, or T, and wherein said nucleotide sequence including a promoter recognized by SigA and bases in the vicinity thereof comprises a nucleotide sequence ranging from base Nos. 92 to 552 in SEQ ID NO: 1, a nucleotide sequence ranging from base Nos. 133 to 589 in SEQ ID NO: 2, or a nucleotide sequence having a homology of 80% or more to either of these nucleotide sequences.
