FIG. 4.

Partial nucleotide sequences of the T. litoralis malE, -F, and -G genes and flanking regions. The deduced amino acid sequences are given in one-letter code below the nucleotide sequences, and the nucleotide and amino acid numbers are given on the right. 300/13 indicates the last amino acid of the malF gene product (no. 300) and last amino acid of MalG in this line (no. 13). In the nucleotide sequence, a putative boxA promoter element is boxed, the putative ribosome binding site is in boldface, and a putative terminator sequence is underlined. In the deduced amino acid sequence of TMBP (the malE gene product), the conserved recognition sequence for the cleavage sites of lipoprotein signal peptidases is underlined and the presumably formed N-terminal cysteine of the mature protein is in boldface and marked with an arrowhead. Most of the sequence within the structural genes is omitted, as indicated by points and deletion signs. The complete sequence is deposited in GenBank under accession no. AF012836.
