Figure 2. Physical maps of car and ant loci.

Figure 2

(A) Physical map of car locus, which is delimited by IS6100 elements. The upstream IS6100 is interrupted by a novel insert element ISSsp1, and was designated IS6100::ISSsp1. (B) Schematic representation of the main features of the novel ISSsp1 sequence in Sphingomonas sp. XLDN2-5. The orientation of the ISSsp1 is shown by an arrow. The red and blue boxes represent the positions of two direct repeats (DR) and two imperfect, 32 bp, terminal inverted repeats (the left inverted repeat [IRL], and the right inverted repeat [IRR]) with one mismatch, which is indicated by lowercase letters. The nucleotide sequences of DRs and IRs are also given. (C) Physical map of ant cluster which is franked by IS6100 elements along a base pair scale.
