Figure 1. Alignment of 18 Sakai prophages (Sps) with the corresponding prototype phage genomes.

Figure 1

Genomic organization of lambdoid Sps (A), P2-like Sp (B), P4-like Sp (C), and Mu-like Sp (D) are shown with corresponding prototype phage genomes. Genomic organization of other Sps are shown in (E). Genes on the prototypes are serially numbered from left to right according to their orf numbers [18],[29],[35],[36]. Only the regions in Sps showing variation in gene organization compared with the prototype genomes are numbered according to the prototype gene. Gene names on the prototypes are shown in green (λ), blue (P2), purple (P4), and black (Mu). Asterisks indicate the genes that are predicted to be non-functional. Phage genomic regions involved in integration/excision (IX), transposition (Tn), regulation (Reg), replication (Rep), general recombination (GR), packaging (Pac), cell lysis (Lys), morphogenesis (Portal, Head, Tail, and Host range) and miscellaneous (Misc) functions are indicated in each prototype genome. An enlarged version with more detailed information is presented in Figure S1.
