Figure 3From: Sequence, distribution and chromosomal context of class I and class II pilin genes of Neisseria meningitidis identified in whole genome sequencesSchematic diagrams of the positions of pilE and pilS loci in genomes of reference strains of N. meningitidis expressing class I pilE (A) or class II pilE (B). Genes and pilS cassettes are drawn based on published annotations. The positions on the chromosome are based on NCBI reference sequences: NC_003112.2 (MC58), NC_008767.1 (FAM18), NC_003116.1 (Z2491), and NC_017512.1 (WUE2594). As shown, class II pilE genes have a distinct genomic context compared to the class I pilE genes. Putative guanine quartet (G4) and Sma/Cla sequences are shown as black vertical line or hatched boxes, respectively. lpxC: UDP-3-O-[3-hydroxymyristoyl] N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase), fkbp: peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, katA: catalase, chp: conserved hypothetical protein; hp: hypothetical protein, prlC: putative oligopeptidase A.Back to article page
