An electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA) and a DNase I footprinting assay revealed that the TubX protein bound directly to five 8-bp degenerate repeats located in the <jats:italic>par</jats:italic> promoter region and that TubX competed with TubR-Bs for binding to the <jats:italic>par</jats:italic> promoter.
