Maps of lp28-8, lp28-9 and lp32-3. The yellow bars represent the plasmids, and the arrows within them indicate most open reading frames in these plasmids; blue arrows are putative plasmid replication/maintenence/compatibility genes, green denotes vls cassettes and red are other genes. Black “X”s on arrows indicate pseudogenes. PFams [17, 19] are indicated in the boxes above, and putative function is noted in red text above the map. An asterisk (*) marks the putative lipoprotein gene at ~9 kbp of lp28-8 that is a homolog of JD1_j07 which encodes a closely related putative lipoprotein; these are ~75% identical to plasmid-encoded proteins PGP088 and BAPKO_6042 of B. garinii PBi and B. afzelii PKo, respectively; this gene has no homolog in the B. burgdorferi type strain B31. The blue bars below note some of the best similarities to other B. burgdorferi linear plasmids
