Schematic representation of hypothetical core promoters with conserved cis-regulatory motifs. The putative CAAT box, TATA box, Inr, MTE, and DPE elements are in linear arrangement with no scale (above). The Drosophila species-derived consensus sequences are in bold, in brackets, and below each box [50]. The relative positions of these elements are indicated by flanked blue numbers which are in reference to a hypothetical A (+1) initiator within the Inr motif. The number directly on the left of the start codon (ATG) also represents the relative distance from the same hypothetical A. The string of putative core promoter elements from each gene is arrayed in lines. The actual conserved nucleotide sequences are in bold and their overall identity (%) indicated underneath. Bdtra, Bctra, Bztra, Bttra, Bcatra (this work), and Botra [26] represent the putative 5’ upstream regulatory sequences of tra isolated from B. dorsalis, B. correcta, B. zonata, B. tryoni, B. carambolae, and B. oleae, respectively. Bddsx and Bcdsx represent the putative 5’ upstream regulatory sequences of tra isolated from B. dorsalis and B. correcta, respectively [44].
