Figure 1

Stenotrophomonas RAYTs. (A) Schematic representation of a segment of S. maltophilia R551-3 genome containing putative IS200/IS605 family transposase gene (orange arrow), histidine kinase/response regulator/sodium-symporter family gene (blue arrow) and several short palindromic repeats (red arrows). (B) General structure of Stenotrophomonas rayt genes flanked by REPs. The whole REPs and their orientation are denoted with red arrows. Details in REP structure (bottom) are marked with arrows: blue - GT(A/G)G head, green - palindrome-forming sequence, pink - noncomplementary middle part of palindrome.
