FIG. 4.
Alignment of the repetitive motifs of EDL933 gene L0016 and the E2348/69 homolog. Coordinates shown to the left of the alignment correspond to the sequence position in each GenBank entry. Each sequence is labeled with the repeat number and subscripted strain designation (R1EDL933, R2EDL933, etc.). The repeat is in frame in both strains, and the putative peptide sequence is shown above the alignment with asterisks replacing residues that are not absolutely conserved. Dots indicate nucleotides identical to those in the R1EDL933 sequence. Dashes have been added to maximize the similarity among sequences.
