ComE responsive promoter

ComE BBa_K316016 binds to a specific sequence in a promoter leading to activation of transcription downstream of the binding site. This sequence regulates the ComE responsive promoter in the ComCDE operon. This sequence has been previously shown to be sufficient to drive ComE regulated transcription within S. pneumoniae[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17328748].
