Model of promoter capabilities of BrickBuilt_5 based on lacZ promoter probe ability. Bi-directional promoters are present in both the leader and tail segments of BrickBuilt_5. As such, at this locus antisense transcripts may be produced toward PGN_0361, sense transcripts produced toward arginyl-tRNA synthetase (argS), and transcripts of the 23 nucleotide repeat regions within the element may be produced from both strands. The distance from the tail to argS is less than 100 nt and may be or contain the promoter for argS
