Figure 3

Schematic 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.
