FIG.1.

Nucleotide sequence of aae and the amino acid sequence of Aae. The PCR primers are indicated by dashed underlines, and the name of the primer is to the right. The doubly underlined sequence in the untranslated 5′ region is an inverted repeat presumed to be a terminator of the upstream gene. The vertical bar (|) in the amino acid sequence (after position 27) indicates the signal peptidase cleavage site. The solid underline beginning at position 862 indicates the repeat region. The single arrows (↓) at positions 977 and 1246 indicate the first and last bases, respectively, of the SUNY 465 deletion. The double arrow (⇓) between positions 1900 and 1901 indicates the insertion site for the sequence AATTAGACAGAA in SUNY 465.
