FIG. 3.

Schematic diagram of the organization of genes encoding the APH_0404 (Asp62), APH_0405 (Asp55), APH_0406, and APH_0407 proteins in A. phagocytophilum HZ and the orthologous genes in A. marginale strain St. Maries, E. chaffeensis Arkansas, E. canis Jake, and E. ruminantium Welgevonden. Open reading frames are represented by open arrows that indicate their orientations. Orthologs are indicated by dashed lines at the ends of each open reading frame. The number of amino acid (aa) residues for each open reading frame is shown. The E value cutoff is e⁻²².
