Curator or user-submitted Comments:

Although sokE and hokE are intact, the start of the regulatory peptide gene mokE is missing from this remnant hok/mok locus, so the mokE (and hence hokE) is not expressed and the frame cannot be determined to annotate a pseudogene. LexA regulon. IS186B is inserted downstream of the hokE gene in K-12.
