FIG. 4.

Schematic representation of homology between M. catarrhalis Bc5 and four other strains. Repetitive amino acid sequence motifs are also shown. The entire ORF is represented by a solid blue line for strain Bc5. Homology of the other strains with Bc5 is indicated in blue, whereas dissimilarities with the amino acid sequence of Bc5 are in white. Repetitive amino acid motifs are indicated with colored boxes. The circled sequences show the areas with a higher probability of forming coiled-coil structures (32). Abbreviations: aa, amino acids; rpt, repetitive sequence.
