Fig 1.

The LEE escP gene is syntenic to genes encoding members of the YscP/FliK family of proteins. Shown is a schematic representation of T3SS gene clusters showing the genomic context of escP and syntenic genes (arrows indicated by an asterisk), located two genes downstream of the gene encoding the ATPase (black arrows). These genetic maps were obtained from NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene) and manually modified for presentation here. Genes are represented to scale (bar, 1 kb). The number of residues of the corresponding proteins (accession numbers are in parentheses) and the percentage of random coiling (calculated with SIMPA96) (http://npsa-pbil.ibcp.fr) are shown on the right.
