Abstract
We corrected the previously published sequence for the regB gene, which enc odes a histidine sensor kinase in Rhodobacter capsulatus. The deduced RegB amino acid sequence has an additional putative transmembrane domain at the N terminus. Analysis of RegB-PhoA and RegB-LacZ fusion proteins supports a topology model for RegB with six membrane-spanning domains.
