Also, a total of 20 protein-binding sites were annotated within E. coli spacers orthologous to Buchnera spacers (that is, with the same flanking genes in the same orientation).
In comparisons of spacers orthologous between E. coli and Buchnera, Buchnera showed a lower number of matches to the core eight nucleotides of the SD sequence in 37 of 51 cases (73%).
Considering only spacers within syntenic fragments, spacer length does not increase further when the number of genes lost is greater than one (Figure 8).
These ancient spacers are much shorter than spacers occurring where ancestral genes have been deleted within syntenic fragments (188 bp, n = 165) or than spacers occurring between syntenic fragments (also 188 bp, n = 162).
Buchnera spacers can be categorized into three groups: those flanked by the same genes in Buchnera and the ancestor, those that occur within regions of synteny at positions where gene(s) are missing in Buchnera, and those that occur between syntenic fragments.
