Conservation of msp2 sequence between A. marginale and A. phagocytophilum. The msp2E sequence is the predominant variant sequence encoded in the msp2 expression site of an acute bloodstream population of A. marginale strain Florida (GenBank accession number AF200925), and msp2pseud is encoded by a pseudogene present in genomic DNA of the same strain of A. marginale (accession number U60780). The msp2(p44)E sequence is the predominant variant sequence encoded in the msp2(p44) expression site of A. phagocytophilum strain NY18 (this study) grown in HL-60 cells, and msp2(p44)pseud is encoded by a pseudogene present in genomic DNA of the same strain of A. phagocytophilum (this study). Amino acids that are identical in all four sequences are capitalized. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of native MSP2 and MSP2(P44) are underlined.
