今、英語の論文を読んでいるのですが、訳せないところがあります。

As illustrated in Fig. 3C, site directed mutagenesis of either site 1 (S1) or site 2 (S2) resulted in a moderate but significant (P<0.0001) decrease in the expression of sseL::lacZ.

Additionally, an sseL manipulated promoter containing both mutations (S1+S2) demonstrated accumulative reduction in the expression of sseL::lacZ by more than 2-fold (P<0.0001), indicating that the S1 and S2 sites are required for optimal expression of sseL, possibly due to their role as PhoP binding sites.

To further examine this idea and to rule out the possibility that these positions are used as SsrB binding sites, we analyzed the expression of an altered sseL promoter harboring both mutations in a phoP ssrB background complemented with PhoP or SsrB, provided in trans.

In the presence of SsrB, this mutated promoter was readily able to induce sseL::lacZ expression, suggesting that SsrB does not bind to these sites.

In contrast, providing PhoP in trans did not induce sseL::lacZ expression from the modified promoter (Fig. 3D), supporting the function of S1 and S2 loci as potential PhoP binding sites.

少し長いですが、どなたか訳せる方、よろしくお願いします。

私事ながら時間がないのです！！助けてください！！

どこがわからないのか、もう少し詳しく記載してください。
　特に難しい英語ではありません。単なる科学論文ですね。

図3Cのとおり、部位１、部位２のどちらかの特定部位の突然変異誘発は、わずかだが有意な（P<0.0001)減少をもたらした。
