Figure 1

Schematic representation of representative origins of replication. Schematic drawing of ori regions from Wolbachia, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia and Rickettsia. Inverted triangles denote DnaA boxes, circles denote CtrA binding sites and triangles indicate IHF binding sites. The flanking genes are fragmented. Some protein binding sites are located outside ori but within either of the boundary genes; however, the flanking genes were not fully sequenced from the Wolbachia strains of F. candida, C. lectularius, C. scorpioides, P. hoffmeyeri, and A. encedon. Note also that in A. marginale the ori region appears to be significantly longer due to the differently annotated hemE gene (see text for details). w Mel_A, Wolbachia of Drosophila melanogaster w Mel; w Mau_B, Wolbachia of Drosophila mauritiana w Mau; w Bm_D, Wolbachia of Brugia malayi w Bm; w Fcan_E, Wolbachia of Folsomia candida w FcanE; w Clec_F, Wolbachia of Cimex lectularius w ClecF; w Csco, Wolbachia of Cordylochernes scorpioides w Csco; w Phof_A, Wolbachia of Pegoscapus hoffmeyeri w PhofA; w Aenc_B, Wolbachia of Acraea encedon w AencB; Echaf, Ehrlichia chaffeensis Arkansas; ErumW, E. ruminantium Welgevonden; Ecan, E. canis Jake; Amar, Anaplasma marginale St Maries; Aphag, A. phagocytophilum HZ; Nsenn, Neorickettsia sennetsu Miyayama; Rtyp, Rickettsia typhi Wilmington; Rpro, R. prowazekii Madrid E; Rcon, R. conorii Malish 7; Rfel, R. felis URRWXCal2; Ccre, Caulobacter crescentus CB15.
