FIG. 3.
Graphical representation of bap demonstrating the repetitive structure (A) and a CLUSTAL alignment (B) showing sequence similarity between the BapA. baumannii and BapS. aureus repeat units. (A) The 25,863-bp A. baumannii bap open reading frame is composed almost entirely of tandemly arranged repeats, labeled A to D. The 3′ end of the coding sequence contains additional repetitive units E to G that are not similar to A to D. (B) CLUSTAL alignment of an example of each of the major repeat types found in BapA. baumannii and of the “C” repeat unit from BapS. aureus. For both proteins, the start and end of each repeat, indicated in parentheses, was defined by comparison to the seed alignment of the HYR domain (PFAM accession no. PF02494).
