aa: amino acids; + homologue present; - absent; (+) variable sequence; (−) fragments.
genomic hybridization with ten S. mitis strains using a S. mitis B6 specific microarray; the number refers to S. mitis strains giving positive signals.
hypo: hypothetical; the presence of large coiled-coil domains is indicated; the number in brackets refers to the number of repeats; deg.: degenerate.
the number corresponds to the sequenced region; the estimated size according to Southern hybridization is approximately 4,200 aa.
