(A) Variation in the Rv3135 gene (PPE). The gene in H37Rv is shown with a grey box and the orientation of the gene is indicated by an arrow. The line with dots represents the deleted sequence in the strains compared to H37Rv. The new sequence in some of the strains is shown as a black box. (B) Sequence comparison of different Rv3135 variants: 1. H37Rv; 2. South Asian strains (clinical strains: 8088, 0135, 2566, 3242, 9375 and 9866); and 3. SI-ATCC; and 4. Haarlem-6947-Erdman (Acc. no. AE007137)-CDC1551 (Acc. no. Y17598). The deleted nucleotides are indicated by dashes. The new sequence with respect to H37Rv is in lower case. The deleted amino acids in SA-strains are indicated by a box in the sequence of H37Rv.
