FIG. 2.

Amino acid alignment of the predicted lpfA_O113 product and related fimbrial proteins. The alignment was performed with CLUSTAL software, and amino acid numbers are on the right. Gaps are indicated by a dashed line, and conserved amino acids are shaded in black. Cysteine residues (Cys39 and Cys79) predicted to form a disulfide bridge are indicated by an asterisk. The invariant glycine (Gly176) and aromatic (Tyr188) residues predicted to comprise a chaperone-binding domain are also indicated (#).
