Genomic synteny of dermatophyte MAT locus. The sequence and structural comparison of the MAT loci of the five dermatophyte species M. gypseum (MAT1-1), M. canis (MAT1-1), T. equinum (MAT1-2), T. rubrum (MAT1-1), and T. tonsurans (MAT1-1) was performed using Artemis. The genomic regions linked with red and blue lines are highly conserved DNA sequences with forward and reverse orientations, respectively. This reveals a similar MAT locus structure among the five dermatophyte species that exhibit identical gene orders and transcriptional orientations of the SLA2, COX13, APN2, hypothetical proteins (HP), and alpha domain/HMG genes.
