From: The complete genome sequence of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis FRC41 isolated from a 12-year-old girl with necrotizing lymphadenitis reveals insights into gene-regulatory networks contributing to virulence

Figure 5

Gene regions encoding adhesive pili of C. pseudotuberculosis FRC41. The gene clusters involved in the synthesis of adhesive (Spa-like) pili of C. pseudotuberculosis FRC41 are shown. The gene clusters encode sortases required for the assembly of the pilus (blue), major pilins (red), minor pilins (yellow), pilus tip proteins (green), and proteins of unknown function (grey). The detected sorting (LPxTG) signals are indicated. Specifically marked in the major pilin proteins are the characteristic pilin boxes (blue) and E-boxes (white). The predicted binding of the transcription regulator GlxR in the spaA-srtB intergenic region is shown.
