FIG. 3.

Alignment of the amino acid sequences of LbpA from M. catarrhalis Q8 and 4223, N. meningitidis BNCV and H44/76 (27, 28), and N. gonorrhoeae FA19 (1). Dots indicate identical residues, and gaps have been introduced to maximize sequence alignments. The internal cyanogen bromide fragment used to design the oligonucleotide probe for cloning of the lbpA gene is underlined. The locations of the homologous peptide sequences obtained from M. catarrhalis 141 LbpA (4) are italicized and underlined.
