BOX Elements Modulate Gene Expression in Streptococcus pneumoniae: Impact on the Fine-Tuning of Competence Development

More than 100 BOX elements are randomly distributed in intergenic regions of the pneumococcal genome. Here we demonstrate that these elements can affect expression of neighboring genes and present evidence that they are mobile. Together, our findings show that BOX elements enhance genetic diversity...
