Figure 6. Genomic Architecture of the Superantigenic ypm Locus in Y. pseudotuberculosis .

Figure 6

(A) The scale in bp indicates the genomic location of the Y. pseudotuberculosis IP31758 ypmA locus from YpsIP31758_1855 to YpsIP31758_1868 integrated downstream of the Yersinia recombination site (yrs; red arrow).

The Y. pseudotuberculosis IP31758 ypmA locus is composed of 12 genes and is compared to the ypmA, B, and C loci of three superantigenic Y. pseudotuberculosis strains AH (B), 487/90 (C), and YPT1 (D), and to the corresponding region of the non-superantigenic strain Y. pseudotuberculosis IP32953 (E). CDSs shared between these loci are colored accordingly with the ypm superantigen highlighted in red. The CDS between orf9 and orf10 is not predicted in strains AH, 487/90, and YPT1.
