L . casei gene clusters that may function in cellobiose uptake and hydrolysis. Asterisks identify clusters that are predicted to be nonfunctional in particular strains due to the presence of one or more pseudogenes. Abbreviations: P-β-Glu, phospho-β-glucosidase; β-Glu, β-glucosidase; ABC-ATP, ABC-P, and ABC-SB represent ATP-binding, periplasmic, and substrate-binding components, respectively, of an ABC transport system; EIIABC, EIIA, EIIB, EIIBC, or EIIC, represent sugar-specific enzymes for a PTS transport system; AT, antiterminator protein; TR, transcriptional regulator; Mem Prt, predicted membrane protein of unknown function; Hyp Prt, hypothetical protein; N-AcM K, N-acetymannosamine kinase. Locus tags in L. casei ATCC 334 for the glucosidase CDS in clusters 1–5 are LSEI_0448, LSEI_0700, LSEI_1104, LSEI_1778, and LSEI_2191, respectively. Locus tags in 21/1 for the glucosidase CDS in clusters 6–8 are LCA211_0376, LCA211_0004, and LCA211_2196, respectively. The locus tag in T71499 for the glucosidase CDS in cluster 9 is LCAT71499_1435.
