Fig. 2.
MG192 sequence variation among M. genitalium ATCC strains and their derivatives cultured in vitro. A. Diagram of the full-length MG192 gene of G37T, as shown in Fig. 1. B. Schematic drawing of the MG192 variable regions from M. genitalium strains cultured in vitro (see Table 1). Regions showing the longest stretch of sequence identity with the MgPars of G37T are indicated by identical patterns, as shown in the key. Numbers bordering each shaded area correspond to the nucleotide positions in the full-length MG192 gene of G37T. Triangle indicates the location of the AGT tandem repeats, with detailed information on repeat numbers shown in Table 2. Diamond indicates a single-nucleotide substitution from A to G. The sequences of the MG192 genes for G37-P35, TW48-5G and TW10-5G.ATCC have been submitted to GenBank under Accession No. EF117280, EF117281 and EF117282 respectively.
