Physical map comparing the genes encoding the T4S system (and adjacent genes) in plasmid pMAS2027 to the corresponding regions in plasmids pSE34 (Salmonella serovar Enteritidis; EU219533), pOU1115 (Salmonella serovar Dublin; DQ115388), p2ESCUM (E. coli; CU928149), pOLA52 (E. coli; EU370913), pOU1114 (Salmonella serovar Dublin; DQ115387), R6K (E. coli; AJ006342), and pHI4320 (P. mirabilis; AM942760) and the pathogenicity island (PAI) in E. coli ECOR31 (AY233333). The genes encoding the T4S system are blue and include ddp1 (taxA), taxC, actX, pilX1 to pilX11, and taxB. Adjacent genes (gray) encode hypothetical proteins with unknown functions. No sequence information is available for genes outside the T4S system gene cluster in E. coli R6K. The direction of transcription of each gene is indicated.
